The action continues in the Norwegian Eliteserien as Sandefjord and Haugesund go head-to-head at Jotun Arena on Sunday. Andreas Tegstrom’s men head into the weekend as the only side with a 100% home record in the league and will be looking to extend this fine run.
Sandefjord failed to arrest their slump in form as they suffered a heavy 4-0 defeat at the hands of Fredrikstad in their friendly clash last Sunday.
Before that, Tegstrom’s side suffered two losses from their three games in the league, with a narrow 3-2 victory over Stromsgodset on May 25 sandwiched between the two defeats.
Sandefjord have picked up 15 points from their nine Eliteserien matches so far to sit seventh in the table, one point behind sixth-placed Tromso.
On the other hand, Haugesund were left empty handed yet again as they fell to a 4-0 hammering at the hands of Bodo/Glimt in their league clash last time out.
Toni Korkeakunnas’ men have now lost seven games on the bounce, a run which saw them crash out of the NM Cup following a disappointing 2-1 defeat against Stabaek on May 7.
Haugesund are yet to taste victory in the new Eliteserien campaign and currently sit rooted to the bottom of the table with just one point from their 10 matches so far.
