Sarpsborg 08 and Aalesund meet in the league where both still need points to escape the lower zone of the table. The hosts' latest match ended in a 0-3 defeat, while the visitors just thrashed their opponents 4-1. The two teams therefore come in with clearly different moods. Sarpsborg 08 this season have scored fewer than they have conceded (28 to 34 in 23 matches), but at home they are still a more aggressive team than elsewhere. Aalesund, meanwhile, have the leakiest defence in the lower group, having already conceded 51 goals from the same number of matches, even though their attack has done better than their opponents. If the hosts take the lead first, the game is likely to open up into a long exchange, because both sides concede a lot of goals late in matches. The first half may still be close, but the second half should clearly have more goal chances.
