Sandefjord vs Tromso Prediction and Betting Tips | 3rd July 2024

Sandefjord will play host to Tromso at Jotun Arena in the Eliteserien on Wednesday. Both teams need to make up for lost time following their slow start to the campaign.

Sandefjord vs Tromso Preview

Sandefjord are looking for their first league win since a 4-0 thrashing of Sarpsborg 08 in May. It was the hosts’ second win this season as they continue to struggle to get their campaign off the ground. Sandefjord are rooted in 16th place - bottom of the Eliteserien table – with nine points. They have lost seven times and drawn thrice.

Guttane lost their previous league game at home to HamKam 2-1 but will look to avoid a similar outcome in front of home fans on Wednesday. They are not doing any better than last season when they finished 13th. Sandefjord lost to Tromso 1-0 in the last meeting but shared the spoils in the previous game after a goalless draw.

The visitors appear to be in the same boat as Sandefjord. Tromso sit third from bottom – one place and one point above Sandefjord. Both teams are relegation-threatened. The visitors will enter Wednesday’s clash on the back of two consecutive home losses – against Lillestrøm 2-1 and Molde 2-0.

Gutan ran an impressive campaign last term, finishing third behind champions Bodø/Glimt and Brann. They appear to be a shadow of their old selves in the new season. They have won thrice in 13 matches while losing eight times and drawing once. Tromso’s last victory at Jotun Arena dates back to September 2010.
