Haugesund vs Sarpsborg
Tonight's wave of Norwegian Super League matches kicks off at the same time at 11pm.
Haugesund are currently on the brink of relegation with 13 points after 11 rounds and 13th in the standings. The last 10 games have a record of 3 wins, 2 draws and 5 losses, scoring 10 goals and conceding 14 goals, and the state is not ideal. Compared to last season's 12, they have basically changed this season.
However, the team welcomed a new head coach on May 10 this year, Sancheyev Manoharan, and the team has seen a new look since the new coach took over, losing just two of their seven games under his leadership, one of which was lost to Norwegian Premier League leaders Bodø Shine and the other to six-place Strym. It is really commendable that a middle and lower level team can play such a result, which shows that the new coach still has two brushes.
Visitors Sarpsborg have dropped a lot this season, and the team that was still in eighth place last season has finished 12 rounds this season and is ranked 15th, and has been reduced from a mid-to-upper team to a relegation team.
Sarpsborg has a record of 4 wins and 6 losses in the last 10 games, scoring 16 goals and conceding 25 goals, their offensive ability is stronger than the home team, but the defense is very poor, conceding an average of 2.5 goals per game, and the back line is simply like Zhou Dongyu. Their head coach Stefan. Bierborn took up his role in January 2022 after previously coaching at Hammarby.
In terms of the previous head-to-head record between the two sides, Haugesund won 2, drew 2 and lost 2, with neither side having an absolute advantage. However, Haugesund have not won a single of their last three meetings.
Comprehensive Analysis:
After the change of manager of the home team, Haugesund has a new look, and the team is more balanced in attack and defense than the visitors. The away team's defense is too weak, and the market has basically no confidence in the away win. Based on such a fundamental situation, the home team is bound to form a hot situation when playing at home, so it is optimistic that the away team will retreat.
