This is very important game for Sandefjord since they are still very close to the dangerous zone, despite picking up a point from the last away game against Stromsgodset. Odd Grenland failed to beat Viking at home and considering their awful away record, I expect them to struggle in this match.
Sandefjord managed to achieve promotion to the top division after finishing second in Adeccoligaen last season and their first objective is to avoid the drop. The team had a good start to the season, but they have been struggling lately and are still very much in the relegation battle. The team fail to win any of the last 9 games, which is definitely very disappointing, but I need to point out that they played mostly teams from the top part of the table during this period. Sandefjord are one of the rare teams that avoided defeat against mighty Rosenborg and I expect them to come good in no time. The hosts will be very motivated to win this match and thus allay their relegation fears, and they have to be considered favourites, because Odd Grenland are terrible on the travels. Sandefjord will have Erik Mjelde and Martin Jensen back from suspension and that will be a big boost for the team.
Odd Grenland had been predicted difficult relegation fight before the start of the season but they are defying all odds and manage to stay very close to the top. The team took 26 points from 16 games and are currently occupying third place in the standings but I don’t expect them to keep such a good league position. The only reason behind team’s great results is excellent form at their Skagerak Arena, where they took 20 points from 8 games. On the other hand, they brought just six points from the travels, which is why they don’t have much to hope for in the match against Sandefjord. Team’s form is on the downtrend and they couldn’t beat Viking at home last weekend, and to be honest, they don’t deserve to stay in the top part of the table.
Sandefjord have been playing well lately even though the latest results are far from impressive but I believe they have what it takes to win this match. Odd Grenland are utterly disappointing on the travels and they are unlikely to bring any points from this away game. Betting odds on home win are really good and my advice is to take them.
