Tromso vs. Sarpsborg 08 Match Preview Article
Welcome to the Turboscores match preview of the upcoming match between Tromso and Sarpsborg 08, taking place on Sunday, 28 April 2024, at Romssa Arena in Tromsø.
Tromso, Recent Form
Tromso won't feel too deflated by the 1-0 away defeat to Kristiansund, given that their opponents sit a full 10 places above them in the league table. Their share of possession in that meeting was 54%, while racking up 8 shots along the way, 2 of which were on target, in contrast to Kristiansund, who had 19 shots on goal with 9 on target.
While they have shown an appetite for goals over the last 6 matches, clocking up 7, they have not had it all their own way at the back and have given away 9 goals and some valuable points in the process. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 10 games.
They're experiencing a very poor spell of form at Romssa Arena, having lost 4 of their last 6 home games.
Sarpsborg 08, Recent Form
The 2-0 home defeat to KFUM-Kameratene will not have sat easily with the Sarpsborg 08 squad, who would not have been pleased to squander all three points. They achieved 66% possession in that match and had 11 strikes at goal, with 3 hitting the target, up against KFUM-Kameratene's tally of 7 efforts at goal, 4 of which were on target.
Having scored just 3 goals in their last 6 games, it will be glaringly obvious to their manager Stefan Billborn where he needs to focus his attentions if they are going to get more points on the table. However, he will still have one eye on his defence which has shipped 11 in the same period. They have failed to score in 4 of their last 6 games, and they have failed to record a clean sheet in their last 14 games.
Results wise, their recent poor run of form has left them without a win in 7 games.
Tromso vs. Sarpsborg 08 Head to head
After a good 4-0 win for Sarpsborg 08 in this pair's last league encounter, Tromso will certainly be looking for a better result this time round.
Sarpsborg have scored in each of their last 4 league meetings with Tromso. When Sarpsborg visit Gutan in the league, goals tend to happen, with 8 from their previous 3 encounters and a scoring average of 2.67 goals per match.
