Tromsø - Sarpsborg 08 predictions

By pricing a home win at around 2.08, the bookies made it clear that Tromsø are the favourites. Overall, though, the difference between the teams is not big, and the match can end either way.

Sarpsborg 08 are not a team that backs down from a challenge and we expect them to give their best in an effort to claim a victory in this match.

Home supporters will be expecting their team to bounce straight up from the Tromsø_LASAT_ROUND_AWAY defeat as they prepare for the next Eliteserien clash. The last game ended up in a narrow defeat which, in all fairness, was well-deserved knowing that Tromsø were trailing both at the half-time break and within the full 90 minutes.

The latest outing we saw from Sarpsborg 08 ended in disaster despite the home-field advantage. Most predictions saw them as more-or-less equal to their opponents KFUM, but they were unable to recover from some early concessions, losing the game 0:2.

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.

This is the second time these two teams will clash as part of the current Eliteserien season. Sarpsborg 08 won the first time around, though it was a rather close victory and most bookies are expecting this match to end differently.

Fortunately, both teams will have a complete lineup this Sunday, with no players out due to injury or suspension.

A confirmed Under 2.5 Goals market seems like a foregone conclusion for this particular match. The only thing to do now is to decide whether the relatively short 2.00 odds are worth your time. We would say they are because this bet manages to have real betting value as well.
