Both sides enter the opener with thin margins – Fredrikstad have just scraped a 1‑1 draw against Sandefjord last season, while Sandefjord have barely escaped relegation threats with a string of narrow defeats. The fixture is crucial for Fredrikstad’s push for a top‑half finish and for Sandefjord’s survival hopes.
Lars's Verdict
The draw is the only market with quoted odds, and its implied probability exceeds the model’s estimate, meaning there is no positive edge to exploit.
Show the maths
With Fredrikstad FK averaging 1.5 expected goals and Sandefjord averaging 1.0, the model gives a 50.9% chance at least one side fails to score, ahead of the 49.1% it gives to both teams scoring.
Show the maths
Combined expected goals of 2.5 (Fredrikstad FK 1.5 + Sandefjord 1.0) points to a tighter game, with the model giving Under 2.5 Goals a 54.4% chance against 45.6% for Over.
Show the maths
Our Poisson model, built from each side's real season scoring and conceding rates, has Fredrikstad FK at 48.8%, the draw at 26.0%, and Sandefjord at 25.2% to win.
The single most likely scoreline in our model is 1-0 at 12.3% — treat any single scoreline price with caution given how spread out the probability distribution is across a low-scoring match.
The Numbers Behind the Headline
Most likely scorelines
Model probabilities are derived from each team's real season goals-for and goals-against averages via a Poisson goal-expectancy model — not a fixed set of narrative numbers.
Form Guide — Last 5
Fredrikstad FK
Fredrikstad’s recent run reads D‑W‑L‑L‑L, highlighted by a 2‑1 home win over Start followed by three consecutive defeats, including a 0‑2 loss to Lillestrom and a 0‑4 drubbing at Rosenborg. The solitary win came against a mid‑table side, suggesting the team’s attacking output of 1.5 xG has not translated into consistent points, which weakens any case for a dominant home win.
Sandefjord
Sandefjord’s form is D‑L‑D‑L‑L, with a 2‑2 home draw against Ham‑Kam and a 0‑3 home loss to Bodo/Glimt framing the sequence. Their away record shows a 1‑2 loss at Molde and a 1‑2 defeat at Viking, indicating they struggle to pick up points on the road and concede heavily, reinforcing the low‑scoring, draw‑prone outlook.
Head-to-Head
In the last five meetings, Fredrikstad have secured two wins (3‑1 in April 2025 and 1‑0 in December 2024) and three draws, the most recent being a 1‑1 stalemate in May 2026, underscoring the likelihood of a tight game.

More From This Week
Given the model’s 26% draw probability versus the market’s 27.8% implied, the draw is overpriced, leaving no clear value on the board today.
