Analysis of the match between Sandefjord Fotball and Rosenborg BK
Sandefjord's unbeaten home streak faces a significant test as they welcome "bogey team" Rosenborg to Jotun Arena. Will this be an opportunity for the home side to narrow the head-to-head gap, or will their winless run continue?
In reality, Sandefjord has a very poor record against Rosenborg, winning only 2, drawing 4, and losing as many as 21 of their last 27 encounters across all competitions. Even at home, they've managed just one victory in their last 13 home matches against this opponent. However, their recent 11-game unbeaten run at Jotun Arena โ including five consecutive wins in the 2025 Norwegian national championship โ provides a strong foundation for Sandefjord's confidence.
Notably, in all five of those aforementioned home games, Sandefjord scored at least two goals per match, a figure that highlights their consistency and sharpness when playing with home crowd support.
Meanwhile, Rosenborg hasn't been in stable form away from home. They've won only one of their last five away trips (drawing two, losing two). The team's overall performance is also disappointing, with just one win in their last seven matches across all competitions.
Given the contrasting form between the two teams, this trip to Jotun Arena could prove to be an overwhelming challenge for Rosenborg. If they don't improve, they're at risk of losing their third-place position in the standings after this round.
