Sandefjord vs Haugesund - Match Preview (22.06.2025)

Sandefjord prepares for a match against Haugesund at Jotun Arena

On Sunday, an exciting match in the Eliteserien is set to take place as Sandefjord hosts Haugesund at Jotun Arena. Sandefjord enters this match with relatively good form, despite recently losing to Bryne 3-2. In general, Sandefjord has been strong at home with four victories in four matches and has impressed offensively with an average of 2.5 goals per home game. The team will be looking for another win to remain competitive in the league.

Haugesund, on the other hand, has had a tough season so far and is still searching for their first win. Their last match ended in a 4-0 loss to Bodo/Glimt, and they have not earned any points from their last five games. Haugesund has struggled both defensively and offensively, having scored only four goals in total this season, while conceding 27. The home team could thus present a tough challenge for the visitors, who need to improve their defensive efforts.

The history between the teams shows that Haugesund has previously dominated their encounters, but in the last two meetings, Sandefjord has managed to turn the tide and won both times, including a 4-3 victory at home in 2024. This gives Sandefjord confidence that they can continue their good form against Haugesund at Jotun Arena.

It is expected that Sandefjord will set up in a 4-1-4-1 formation, a tactic they have frequently used this season with success. Haugesund, on their part, has experimented with several formations in an attempt to turn around their poor form but has often reverted back to a 4-1-4-1 formation as well.

Everything is in place for a highly dramatic match where Sandefjord has the chance to solidify their top form at home while Haugesund is desperately working to find their first win. One thing is certain, the audience at Jotun Arena can expect an intense match where both teams will fight hard for the points.
