Sandefjord vs Haugesund Predictions

Can Sandefjord Turn Dominance into a Statement Win Against a Sinking Haugesund?

• Sandefjord have kept Jotun Arena a fortress
  • They’ve won every home match this season, with 10 straight unbeaten games at their stadium in 2025 and four consecutive league home victories.
• Haugesund’s defence is a walking liability
  • They’ve let in 27 goals in 10 league matches and haven’t kept a single clean sheet. The -1.5 line wasn’t covered in 6 of their last 10.
• Guttane’s attack knows how to take advantage
  • Sandefjord average 14.8 shots per match and have scored 16 goals across nine games, often making the most of weak opposition defences.

Best Bet for Sandefjord vs Haugesund

It’s hard to dress this one up as anything other than a clash between two clubs on very different trajectories. At Jotun Arena this Sunday, Sandefjord have a golden chance not only to claim three points but to make a loud and clear declaration of intent. Haugesund, meanwhile, are in complete disarray. You could call it a mismatch, but the Eliteserien has a funny way of humbling even the boldest favourites. Still, based on the evidence at hand, this game feels like it could be more of a dismantling than a contest.

The hosts have been patchy on the road, true, but in front of their home crowd, they’ve been a force of nature. Every single fixture at Jotun Arena this year has gone in their favour, and it’s not a coincidence. They play with more control, more confidence, and, frankly, more quality when they’re on familiar turf. Sitting seventh with 15 points, Sandefjord are just two shy of the European places and could feasibly leapfrog several teams with a win. That’s not a situation they’ll want to waste — especially not against the league’s whipping boys.

Haugesund, on the other hand, appear to be circling the drain. One point from ten games. Nine defeats. A staggering 27 goals conceded and only four scored. It’s painful just reading the numbers, let alone watching the matches. Their last outing? A 4-0 drubbing on home soil by Bodo/Glimt, where they were barely in the match. Korkeakunnas might be telling his players to believe in a turnaround, but the reality is their backline is leaking like a sieve, their attack is blunt, and the atmosphere is gloomy..

Best Bet for This Match: Sandefjord to Win with -1.5 Asian Handicap

Here at BettingTips4You, we don’t believe in cluttering your screen with twenty different bets and a shopping list of possibilities. We provide one Best Bet per game, carefully chosen based on the data and context. No fluff. No filler. And this time, we’re backing Sandefjord -1.5 on the Asian Handicap as our top play.

There’s no skirting around it — Haugesund are in freefall. They’ve not only failed to win a league game in 2025, but they’ve also gone four straight matches without scoring. Their defence? A mess. In just their last three matches, they’ve conceded ten goals. The injuries haven’t helped either. With key absences in both central and wide defensive areas, they’re likely to field a backline patched together from what’s available — not what’s ideal.

Sandefjord, meanwhile, are not just unbeaten at home — they’ve looked ruthless when given the chance. Christopher Cheng has been influential from the back, Jakob Dunsby continues to offer creativity, and the midfield pairing of Ottosson and Melchior provides energy and control. And with Darrell Kamdem Tibell up top, there’s always a threat in the box.

The difference in both mentality and momentum is night and day. Sandefjord can almost smell a top-four place, while Haugesund are gasping for air at the bottom, clutching at straws.

“It’s not just about form — it’s about ambition versus survival panic. Sandefjord have purpose, Haugesund look lost. This should be a two-goal margin at minimum.”
— BettingTips4You.com expert quote from Graham Hartshorn

As for the correct score, we’re leaning towards a 4-1 win for the home side. It’s a bold shout, but considering the gap in performances and the visitors’ inability to keep things tight, a high-scoring win feels inevitable. Haugesund might sneak a consolation, but even that would be surprising.
