Aalesund welcome Sandefjord at Color Line Stadion, Aalesund on Sunday, Nov 1 at 5:00 PM in a Eliteserien fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 2 points split them in the table.

Aalesund come into this fixture out of form (0W 2L recently). Sandefjord travel struggling badly (0W 4L in last 5), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.

Despite playing at home, Aalesund face a side that has dominated this fixture historically. Sandefjord have won 6 of 10 encounters, with 2 draws. Their last encounter ended in Aalesund won 0–1.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Aalesund a slight edge, but Sandefjord are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
