Sarpsborg 08 vs. Stromsgodset Match Preview Article
Welcome to the Turboscores match preview of the upcoming match between Sarpsborg 08 and Strømsgodset, taking place on Sunday, 13 August 2023, at Sarpsborg Stadion in Sarpsborg.
Sarpsborg 08, Recent Form
Sarpsborg 08 boss Stefan Billborn will need to instil positive feelings within his team after they endured a 5-1 away mauling from Sandefjord. They came away from that fixture with 55% of the possession and clocked up 14 attempts on goal with 5 on target. By comparison, Sandefjord managed 23 attempts on goal, with 5 on target.
Whilst he will be pleased with his team's performance in front of goal, having scored 14 goals in their last 6 games, he will want to tighten up his defence if they are to pick up more points, with 20 goals conceded in the same period. Their goal scoring streak now stands at 13 games in a row.
They have had a good run of form at Sarpsborg Stadion recently, having won 4 out of their last 6 home games.
Victor Torp will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 4 goals in the last 6 league games for Sarpsborg 08.
Stromsgodset, Recent Form
The Strømsgodset players will be feeling somewhat disenchanted with their inability to pick up any points from their home fixture against Vålerenga recently, that ended in a 3-1 defeat. In that game they had 56% possession and managed 10 attempts on goal, with 3 on target, compared to Vålerenga who had 14 attempts and 10 on target.
They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 7 goals in their last 6 outings, but they have had their own defensive frailties to worry about, having conceded 8 and seen valuable points lost. They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games overall.
Strømsgodset will not be enjoying their recent run of poor form, having lost 4 league games in a row.
Goalscorer Jonatan Braut Brunes will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 4 goals in his last 6 league matches for Strømsgodset.
Sarpsborg 08 vs. Stromsgodset Head to head
After a good 5-2 win for Strømsgodset in this pair's last league encounter, Sarpsborg 08 will certainly be looking for a better result this time round.
Away from home, Godset have shipped at least one goal to Sarpsborg in each of their previous 4 league matches against them. In their recent meetings Sarpsborg have struggled to keep Strømsgodset at bay, having conceded 14 goals in their last 5 games.
Strømsgodset has a poor track record in the league when they visit Sarpsborg, losing in their last 2 games.
Gustav Valsvik will be looking to get on the scoresheet for Strømsgodset against Sarpsborg in this one, having netted 3 goals in the previous 5 encounters between the two.
