General match analysis
Sogndal have the stronger case at home: they win 50% of their matches there, while Sandnes Ulf win just 25% of their away games and lose as many as 63%. The hosts create more offensively, averaging 15.13 shots and 6.13 shots on target per match, compared with 9.88 shots and 3 shots on target for the visitors, while their average xG stands at 1.83 versus 1.25 for their opponents. Sogndal score 2.25 goals per home game, whereas Sandnes Ulf manage just 1.13 away from home. In addition, the visitors have failed to score in 38% of their away matches. Both defences, however, leave plenty of space, with the hosts conceding an average of 2.00 goals and the visitors 1.88, so Sandnes Ulf should have a realistic chance of finding the net. Recent form slightly favours Sogndal, who have picked up 6 points in their last five matches compared with 4 points for Sandnes Ulf, further supporting the prediction of a narrow home win.
View the statistical overviewBTTS - will both teams score?
Sogndal have recorded BTTS in 56% of their matches this season, while Sandnes Ulf have done so in 50%. However, current form clearly strengthens the scenario of goals at both ends: the figures from the last five matches stand at 80% and 60%, respectively. During this period, the hosts averaged 2.0 goals scored but conceded as many as 2.8, while the visitors scored 1.6 and allowed their opponents 2.6 goals. Sandnes Ulf have kept a clean sheet in only 13% of matches, while Sogndal have failed to score in just 11%, which favors an away goal and strongly supports a goal for the hosts. The attacking potential is also confirmed by the latest xG figures: 1.55 for Sogndal and 1.42 for Sandnes Ulf, with the league BTTS average at 62%. BTTS - Yes is therefore the most likely outcome, as both defenses regularly allow opponents to create numerous chances, while the attacks maintain solid goal production.
