LiontipsSandnes Ulf vs. Aalesund. Prediction and bets on the Norwegian Championship match
Command Analysis
Current form
Last season, Sandnes Ulf managed to avoid relegation. A good start to the current championship had some positive moments and the club even managed to reach the quarter-finals of the Norwegian Cup. The team began to lose points due to very frequent matches, lost seven times in eight matches and dropped into the relegation zone. Asle Andersen's team has the worst goal difference in the championship - 19 goals scored and 45 conceded.
In the last round, the team managed to achieve a long-awaited victory over one of its rivals, Mjøndalen, fighting for survival (1:0), having made only three shots on the opponent's goal. However, the game before that was a crushing defeat to the not so stellar Osane (0:3).
At this stage, the team with three wins and four draws is located on the last line in the tournament table with a devil's dozen points to its credit.
Interesting trends for betting
- This season the team has conceded 45 goals, most of which were in the first half (51%).
- Striker Tommy Hoyland was worth mentioning, as he contributed to 10 of his team's goals (seven goals and three assists).
- Sandnes Ulf scored only eight goals in 17 first halves
Probable line-up : Mbaye; Berger, Bager, Gayi; Kleppa, Obi, Sakor, Ossenbroch, Niehagen; Hoyland, Mamedov.
Current form
Aalesund is the biggest loser of the last two seasons in Norway. After being relegated from the Premier League, the team continues to show a not entirely confident game, having dropped to the bottom of the tournament table now in the First League. Although a fierce fight for return was expected from the club.
After the rounds held, the team has only four wins and three draws, which corresponds to 14th place in the tournament table. Quite modest statistics for a team coming from the elite division.
True, in the last matches the team's play has improved a little, and two victories in a row are evidence of this. In the last game, Lars Arne Nielsen's charges beat Moss (1:0), making 18 shots at goal, 14 of which were on target. The game before that, they won against Raufoss (2:0).
Interesting trends for betting
- In away games, an average of 10.94 corner kicks are taken, while the away team itself takes 5.41 corner kicks.
- This season the team has conceded 34 goals, most of which were in the second half (53%).
- The club has earned an average of 1.8 yellow cards in its last ten matches

Betting on Team Goals
Both teams have not scored much this season. Sandnes Ulf have scored 19 times in 17 games, while Aalesund have scored 21. It is likely that both clubs will play more carefully in defense, because this is an important match. It is possible to bet that there will be no exchange of goals today.

Bet on the outcome
Aalesund rarely pleases its fans with victories, and today will be a cautious game. The visitors perform rather modestly away from home, having lost four times in seven games and managed to win twice. It is worth noting that the visiting team achieved two victories in a row and did not concede a single goal in these games. We assume that Aalesund, which has gained momentum, is quite capable of winning.
Prediction: Alesund win with odds of 1.90
