Kongsvinger should be favoured over Sandnes
Kongsvinger IL make the trip to Sandnes Ulf's Oester Hus Arena as the clear favorites based on their league position, their head-to-head record against Sandnes Ulf and their odds, but Sandnes have been in better form at home of late, so this game will be live for the hosts.
Sandnes have failed to win in their last 2 at home against IL, while Kongsvinger have won their last 3 meetings in the 1. Division against Ulf. However, Sandnes are on a roll at the moment and can make this a real game if they can absorb the early pressure and hit fast and accurate counters, and Kongsvinger will have to impose their superior width and pressing intensity to edge the match.
