Sandefjord
- Sandefjord enter the last five games of Eliteserien 2025 in sixth place on 31 points from 22 fixtures - a consistent enough record for the hosts, who are bidding to get back to winning ways at home against 13th-placed Bryne FK; this Sandefjord vs Bryne FK prediction is supported by their recent form.
- Hans Erik Oedegaard has overseen a change in Sandefjord’s playing style since taking over as coach in May 2024 and the evidence suggests he is getting the best out of his squad.
- The Boys are a patient, possession-based team who like to control the pace and keep it tight in defensive terms.
- Oedegaard is a stickler for structure and his team usually play a 4-1-4-1 formation, making the most of their wide midfielders to create angles and stretch the opposition.
Bryne FK
- Bryne FK, who are 13th with 24 points from 23 games, look destined to play Norwegian First Division football in 2026 unless they can engineer a miracle. Additionally, our Sandefjord vs Bryne FK betting tips highlight just how difficult an away challenge this will be for them.
- Ole Kevin Knappen has done a fine job since January 2022 - molding Bryne into a pragmatic, industrious and often hard-to-beat side that has enough craftiness to occasionally surprise the odds-on favourites.
- Knappen’s side will come at Sandefjord with a direct, two-striker system and an aggressive press to force turnovers in the first phase of play.
- The visitors have won one, drawn two and lost two of their last five, with the highlight being a 2-0 home win over Kristiansund BK.
Head-to-Head
Bryne won 3-2 when these clubs last met at Bryne Stadion in Eliteserien 2025, so there is evidence to suggest the 4.1 away team will make life tough for the division’s most-in-form side.
