This Norwegian top flight fixture on Saturday evening sees two teams looking to build on some decent recent results and climb the Eliteserien table.  The Release Arena hosts this battle between tenth placed Sandefjord and Sarpsborg in eleventh.  Both teams will be looking to extend the five-point gap between themselves and 14th (which is a relegation play-off spot ) placed Mjondalen.

Sandefjord come into this game in decent form with two successive victories and three from their last four.  Their last fixture saw them beat Staebek 2-0 to continue their climb up the table after a slow start to the season.  At home, they have won back-to-back matches which includes an impressive victory over second placed Bodo/Glimt.

Sarpsborg are in a mixed run of form with two victories and two defeats from their previous four matches.  They impressed last time out with a 1-0 defeat of a Molde side who sit top of the table.  On the road, they will be looking to bounce from a heavy 4-1 loss at Valerenga which means they have just two away wins from six this season.
