Rosenborg - Sandefjord predictions

Rosenborg are firm favourites in this matchup, and backing them may offer surprising betting value. It’s a very safe bet, though we suppose an upset is not outside the realm of possibility. We wouldn’t count on Sandefjord winning, though.

At 4.20 betting odds, an away win would be a huge surprise and we’re positive Sandefjord are well aware of it themselves.

Rosenborg went into their previous Eliteserien game at KFUM at a slight disadvantage, which was amplified by the fact they played as visitors. The slight disadvantage quickly turned into a harsh 4:1 defeat as they never managed to take control of the pitch.

Sandefjord hit an impasse in their previous away game – the two teams spent most of the match tied, and the final score was 2:2. Such an outcome was in line with the 2.15 betting odds, which described the two teams as more or less evenly matched.

The biggest issue the hosts have is a lacklustre backline. They’re currently on a bit of a trend of conceding a lot of goals – over 5 across their 3 previous matches, to be exact.

A quick look at the visiting team’s recent history tells us a lot about their weaknesses. Specifically, we’re talking about the fact that they’ve allowed more than 5 goals over their 3 most recent Eliteserien outings.

Surprisingly enough, the hosts already lost to Sandefjord once this season. This came as a bit of an upset, to say the least, considering they are widely believed to be the stronger team.

Saturday's matchup will feature both teams at full strength, allowing for a fair and competitive game.

An Over 3.5 Goals wager here can net you considerably better results than the Over 2.5 counterpart, and the probability of winning remains almost as strong. The 1 odds offered at 1xbet are great for value, too.
