Fredrikstad
- Fredrikstad have won just 3 of their 12 away league games, scoring only 12 goals.

Betting Insights
- Sandefjord are favorites at 1.9 to win this contest while Fredrikstad are outsiders at 3.75, so the momentum is certainly with Hans Erik Oedegaard’s men.
- With Sandefjord’s attacking flair and Fredrikstad’s defensive gameplan, the Over 2.5 goals market looks a bit better than the 1.65 quote being offered. The Sandefjord vs Fredrikstad FK betting tips also suggest looking for value in total goals.
Prediction
- Sandefjord have split their last two home games, winning and losing, so the odds for them to triumph at 1.9 are a little skinny considering they have not beaten Fredrikstad in their last two games at this venue.
- But the recent momentum is all with the hosts and their home record is dominant, so they are rightful favourites and in good form to edge a close game with the Paoloers likely to score a goal and keep it competitive.
