Sarpsborg 08 - Kristiansund betting tips and odds

With bookies pricing a home win at 2.05, it’s clear the match may yet go either way. The hosts have a distinct advantage, of course, but both a draw and an away win are quite possible outcomes.

The visitors would need to pull off quite a stunt in order to come out victorious. They are severely outmatched in this outing – the 3.60 away win odds alone should speak volumes.

It’s fair to say Sarpsborg 08 demonstrated their character in the last Eliteserien clash. They held it level at the break and after the full 90 minutes against a tough rival and managed to record an important draw (Vålerenga).

With 4.50 odds to win and home-field advantage, Kristiansund were clearly likely to win their previous Eliteserien match before kick-off. The game went about as expected – they took an early lead and kept at it until they eventually won 4:0.

The fact that they’re playing at Sarpsborg Stadion is a boost to Sarpsborg 08. They’ve thrived in their recent home games, managing to score more than 5 times over the previous

Kristiansund’s recent track record shows a very concerning amount of concessions – 6 of them in their previous 3 matches, to be exact. While it’s obvious their defence has a lot of problems, Over markets might be a good option for this match.

Looking back at the recent history of clashes between these two teams, the most notable example is a sound defeat Kristiansund suffered last season. Partly thanks to the considerable goal difference Sarpsborg 08 secured in that match, they’re considered favourites to win the match on Sunday.

With zero injuries reported across the board, this is shaping up to be an exciting outing indeed. Both teams will have their complete squads at their disposal, so we can fully expect them to bring their A-game.

Though some punters may prefer more exciting options, the Under 3.5 Goals market is a solid opportunity for this fixture. It offers a surprisingly solid balance between risk and betting value – though the returns on their own aren’t much to look at.
