Game on between two contrasting playing styles
Bryne FK play a pragmatic, deep and organised style of soccer that is ideal for Ole Kevin Knappen, who has overseen this side since January 2022.
Knappen’s touch is evident in the way Bryne sit deep in their structured system and look to hit on the break and with long balls over the top.
Bryne are a threat going forward, however, and have averaged 1.25 goals per away match in Eliteserien 2025, making them a real threat to Sarpsborg 08 on Sunday.
Sanel Bojadzic has been Bryne FK’s main man up front this season, scoring 3 of their last 7 goals in the league, including the winner in the 4-3 win over Fredrikstad and the opening goal in the 2-0 victory at Stroemsgodset.
Sarpsborg 08 play a completely different style of game to Bryne FK, with Christian Michelsen making his mark since he took over as manager on the 26th June 2024.
Michelsen’s side like to press and recover the ball collectively, before launching vertical attacks that try to catch their opponents off guard.
Sarpsborg 08 are in the happy position of having a player who can run at defenders and hit a late pass, in the shape of Harald Tangen, who has scored 2 of their last 6 league goals.
The contrasting styles of play, Sarpsborg’s high energy and Bryne’s organisation should make this a back-and-forth game and the Sarpsborg 08 vs Bryne FK prediction for 'Both Teams to Score' bet looks like strong value given Bryne FK’s goalscoring form on the road and Sarpsborg 08’s defensive vulnerabilities at home this season.
In conclusion, our Sarpsborg 08 vs Bryne FK prediction points to a match with plenty of action, and those seeking Sarpsborg 08 vs Bryne FK betting tips should consider the both teams to score option.
