Prediction: 1-1
Sarpsborg 08
J.J. Ugland Stadion – Levermyr will host Sunday’s football game between Jerv and Sarpsborg, the two teams who have been struggling in the Eliteserien of late. Jerv are on a three-game losing run, with the team scoring only two goals in total in the previous five league fixtures. The newcomers are desperate to give fans something to cheer about, and we are positive that they will leave their hearts on the field.
The good news for the hosts is that forward Erlend Hustad is back from suspension. Sarpsborg, on the other hand, suffered a loss in each of their last three league matches. Considering that the visitors are eager to return to winning ways as well, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. Both Anders Kristiansen and Eirik Wichne are sidelined with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the away team.
