Sandefjord (home)
- Sandefjord are winless in their last five, losing three and drawing two.
- Hans Erik Oedegaard keeps his team in a compact 1-4-4-2 system, relying on structure and discipline to keep things tight and sharp transitions to punish opponents.
- The hosts are 2-3-1 at home in Eliteserien 2026 and have conceded only five in six, so they can be tough to break down in their own backyard.
Glimt (away)
- Glimt have won four and drawn one of their last five, winning each of their last three.
- Kjetil Knutsen's side are playing brilliant football right now, an aggressive 4-3-3 system with a relentless counter-press that keeps teams pinned in their own half for long periods of the game.
-
They have won each of their last three games (4-1 at Molde, 2-0 at KFUM Oslo and 1-0 over Fredrikstad) and the last three results look like a statement of intent to the rest of the league.
- 4-1 at Molde
- 2-0 at KFUM Oslo
- 1-0 over Fredrikstad
Head-to-Head
The last head-to-head meeting, Glimt's 2-1 away win in Eliteserien 2025, was a result that keeps the visitors top dog in the mind and allows them to arrive in Norway with the mental edge.
Betting Insights
- The odds of 1.4 for the away side are about right, but the home side, at 6.0, and the draw, at 5.1, is far too high.
- Over 2.5 goals at 1.35 and both teams to score at 1.48 still makes this game look profitable.
Prediction
Both teams to score is the sharper angle here, with Glimt looking the most likely winner, but Sandefjord's home stubbornness should keep this game competitive for spells at least.
