Sarpsborg 08, Recent FormAny Sarpsborg 08 pre-match expectations for their last outing were misplaced, after an unexpected 3-2 away defeat by Aalesunds. They came away from that fixture with 61% of the possession and clocked up 20 attempts on goal with 4 on target. By comparison, Aalesunds managed 13 attempts on goal, with 6 on target.
While they have been strong in attack with 15 goals scored in their last 6 games, their defence has let them down slightly, by conceeding 8 at the other end which has led to points being dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but playing at home, they have conceded a goal in 10 of their 12 games this season.
They have had a good run of form at Sarpsborg Stadion recently, having won 4 out of their last 6 home games.
Stabaek, Recent FormStabaek will have been quite satisfied taking a point from their last match against Rosenborg, which ran out a 1-1 draw. In that game they had 43% possession and managed 20 attempts on goal, with 10 on target, compared to Rosenborg who had 14 attempts and 4 on target.
While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 8 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 6, and leading to valuable points being dropped. They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games, but so far this season they have conceded at least one goal in 11 of their 12 games on the road.
They've drawn their last 2 league games away from home, but their search for a league win on the road extends even further having gone 10 consecutive games without grabbing all 3 points.
Mushaga Bakenga will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 3 goals in the last 6 league outings for Stabaek.
In the most recent meeting between these teams, they both managed to find the net, but the game finished in a 1-1 draw.
The De Blaa defence has struggled against Sarpsborg in past meetings, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 5 games.
Playing at home, Sarpsborg have won the last 2 and are unbeaten in the last 6 times they have faced Stabaek in the league.
There is only really one injury concern for the Sarpsborg manager Stefan Billborn ahead of this clash, with Jo Inge Berget (Groin) missing out, which gives Billborn a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
With only Mushaga Bakenga (Thigh) and Kasper Høgh (Thigh) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Bob Bradley will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
