Sandefjord preview: Stuck to the bottom of the table
With just 10 points from 14 matches played in the Eliteserien this season, Sandefjord find themselves in the last place in the standings and they're currently four points behind the first team in the safe zone. Sandefjord have been without a win for eight games in a row as well, so they will need to find their form sooner rather than later if they want to avoid relegation.
Aleksander Nilsson and Darrell Tibell are out with injuries ahead of this match, but Sandefjord will also be without their manager Andreas Tegstrom who is suspended after being sent off in the last round.
Predicted lineup: Keto (GK), Egeli, Berglie, Kristiansen, Cheng, Mettler, Ottosson, Mork, Dunsby, Tveter & Markovic
