Stjordals Blink vs Sogndal tips and predictions

Stjordals Blink to hold off Sogndal

This strong home team will be looking for early openings when this gets going at 5:00pm. Don't be surprised when the floodgates open even if the match winner odds look spot on.

This looks like one of those encounters where Stjordals Blink just do enough to get the job done and they're sure to face some resistance from this Sogndal squad.

You'll have your own take on this but Stjordals Blink might have reasons to be confident about adding to Sogndal's recent defeats. The losses have gradually been building up for this group of away players over their last 3 fixtures. They've lost 2 of them. This doesn't look like the recent record of a squad that will fancy their chances.

These home players are doing some good stuff and they're gaining some momentum. Stjordals Blink have scored at least once in 12 of their recent 13 matches and they have only conceded an average of 0.9 goals over their last 20 games at home.

Sogndal have actually conceded three or more goals in 2 of their last 3 matches. The haters will highlight possible issues at the other end of the pitch. Goal scoring chances away from their own turf have proved elusive for the visitors. They've scored one or less goals in 6 of their last 7 away matches.

It's quite possible this is a match that will simply depend on which side is the quickest out of the blocks. The sportsbooks are predicting both sides to get in on the act as they could be well matched. It's not a strong view but the odds-against for the BTTS No looks a bit more tempting on this occasion.
