Tromsø v Sarpsborg 08 : Eliteserien match betting preview, prediction and odds

Sun 30th Aug, 16:00 BST, Alfheim Stadion, Tromso

Even Sel guides his Sarpsborg 08 team to the Alfheim Stadion in the Eliteserien on Sunday afternoon, with Jørgen Vik's Tromsø their challengers. Quite simply, we want you to win betting on this game. To this end, statistics for the biggest betting market have been laid out below, with head to head (H2H) history and statistically significant form streaks highlighted. Odds from leading bookmakers are included as well.


Best Tip: Over 1.5 goals

The statistics suggest there isn't an obvious winner in this fixture, but the evidence does point towards the conclusion that Tromsø and Sarpsborg will score at least a couple of goals between them. That has been the case when they've gone head-to-head historically, and neither Jørgen Vik or Even Sel has subjected their supporters to too many 0-0s recently either. The bookies predict over 1.5 goals too, with top odds of 1.20 equating to approximately a 79% probability.
