✍️ Match Preview
Match Analysis
Tromso host Sandefjord at Romssa Arena in Eliteserien (matchday 6). Kick-off is Sunday 26 April 2026 at 16:00 UK time.
Form Analysis
Looking at their last 10 matches, Tromso stand at 7W 0D 3L — 2.10 PPG. Last five: W W L W W. Offensively they are averaging 1.80 goals per game, with 0.90 conceded. 4 clean sheets in 10 games (40%) reflects a solid defensive base.
Tromso's form when playing at home: 7W 1D 2L across their last 10 home games (2.20 PPG). At home they are averaging 1.70 goals scored and 0.70 conceded per game. 6 clean sheets from their last 10 home games (60%) — they are an exceptionally hard side to score against at home.
Across their last 10 games, Sandefjord have recorded 6W 2D 2L — 2.00 PPG. Last five: D L W W W. They are scoring at 1.80 per game and conceding 1.20. 4 clean sheets in 10 outings (40%) underlines their defensive solidity.
When travelling, Sandefjord have posted 3W 2D 5L from their last 10 away outings — 1.10 PPG. They are averaging 1.80 goals per away game — strong road scoring that makes them a threat even without home support. Both teams have scored in 80% of their away matches — a high BTTS rate on the road that directly informs this fixture. Their away PPG of 1.10 is notably below their overall 2.00 — form away from home has been a clear weakness recently.
The form figures are too closely matched to derive a directional pick: Tromso 2.10 PPG, Sandefjord 2.00 PPG. Look to other data sets to build the analysis.
H2H Record
There is little to separate the sides in our head-to-head data. From 9 H2H matches, Tromso have won 4, Sandefjord 2, with 3 draws — a balanced record that offers no clear steer on its own.
The 9 H2H matches in our data averaged 2.0 goals per game — a neutral rate that gives no strong lean on the goals market from the H2H alone. The most recent of those, on 9 Nov 2025, ended Tromso 0–1 Sandefjord — a Sandefjord win.
The head-to-head data offers no strong steer in either the result or goals markets. Form, the model and current market pricing should carry more weight for this fixture.
In-Play Profile
Tromso in-play tendencies (last 60 games, 30 of them at home): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 70% of their matches in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 72% of the time; BTTS occurs in 43% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 60% of games (home games); Over 3.5 in 35%; they fail to score in 30% of games.
Sandefjord in-play tendencies (last 60 games, 30 of them away): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 57% of their matches in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 95% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 52% of those occasions; BTTS occurs in 73% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 67% of games (away games); Over 3.5 in 35%.
BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Tromso 43% versus Sandefjord 60%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Tromso 53% | Sandefjord 65%).
Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects Tromso 1.49 xG and Sandefjord 0.76 xG. These expected goals figures are the primary input: they feed a goal-probability matrix across all scoreline combinations to derive the result and market probabilities below. Underlying strength ratings: Tromso attack 1.100 / defence 0.593 | Sandefjord attack 1.036 / defence 0.815. League average goals — home 1.661 / away 1.231. Tromso have a tight defence (rating 0.593), which is pulling Sandefjord's projected output down. Data: built from Tromso's last 36 games and Sandefjord's last 35.
Result probabilities: Tromso 53% | Draw 29% | Sandefjord 18%. Fair-value odds: Tromso 1.88 | Draw 3.44 | Sandefjord 5.68. Tromso hold a narrow Poisson edge at 53% — the draw (29%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 39% | BTTS Yes probability 42% | Total xG 2.25. Under 2.5 has a narrow probability edge at 61% — total xG of 2.25 is below the line but not decisively so. BTTS No at 58% is only a slight lean — the model gives both sides a fair chance of scoring, so No isn't a clear standalone call.
Summary & Verdict
The Poisson model's primary lean is Tromso at 53% — moderate model lean. With a 29% draw probability, Draw No Bet on Tromso offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win.
The Poisson model projects 2.25 xG in total — Under 2.5 at 61% — low conviction — though recent form (Tromso's last 10 home games and Sandefjord's last 10 away games) averaging 3.0 goals per game points the other way.
On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 58% on No. This conflicts with form data — both teams scored in: Tromso 40% (last 10 home games) | Sandefjord 80% (last 10 away games), a notable divergence.

📈 Form Insight
Form at a Glance
Across their last 60 outings, Tromso have picked up 1.50 PPG on a 27W 9D 24L record — W-W-L-W-W across the most recent five.
Sandefjord's form line: 24W 10D 26L from 60 games, 1.37 PPG, last five D-L-W-W-W.
Form-wise this is close to level: Tromso on 1.50 PPG, Sandefjord on 1.37. Other factors will likely decide this one more than recent results.
Venue Form
On home soil, Tromso have posted 1.67 PPG from their last 30 home games (15W 5D 10L).
On the road, Sandefjord have gone 6W 7D 17L from their last 30 away games — 0.83 PPG when travelling. That's a step down from their 1.37 PPG overall record — away form has been the weaker part of Sandefjord's recent record.
Comparing the two in their relevant venue splits, Tromso come out ahead — a more targeted read than the overall PPG figures above, since it strips out games played in the opposite context.

On BTTS specifically: Sandefjord in 60%.

📝 Match Report
How It Unfolded
Tromso beat Sandefjord 3-1 at Romssa Arena, Regular Season - 6, in the Eliteserien. With the result on the board, the sections below measure it against everything the model and the numbers projected in advance.
The Model vs The Result
The Poisson model went into this projecting Tromso 1.49 xG and Sandefjord 0.76 xG, a combined 2.25. The scoreboard read 3-1 for 4 actual goals. Tromso beat their projection by 1.5 — clinical relative to the chances the model priced in. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Tromso attack 1.10 / defence 0.59 against Sandefjord attack 1.04 / defence 0.81, drawn from 36/35 games (CurrentSeason).
On the result, the model split it Tromso 53% | Draw 29% | Sandefjord 18%, with Tromso to win its most likely call at 53%. That is exactly how it finished — the model's leading outcome was vindicated.
Goals & Markets
The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 39%. The game delivered 4, so it went over — the opposite of the projected direction. Over 1.5 had been 67% and landed. Over 3.5 was 19% and came in. On both teams to score, the model sat at 42% and the match saw both sides score — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 59% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Tromso 53%, Sandefjord 65%), a base rate that agreed with today's over. Their combined BTTS history runs at 52%, which matched the both-scored outcome.
Trading Patterns vs Reality
Tromso's trading profile (60 games, 30 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 43% of their matches — today it did; they keep a clean sheet 35% of the time, and conceded here.
Sandefjord's trading profile (60 games, 30 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 60% of their matches — today it did.
Form vs Result
The form lines were close — Tromso 1.50 PPG, Sandefjord 1.37 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the Tromso win broke the near-deadlock. Tromso (home/away splits) scored 3 against a 1.60 average — above their attacking norm. Sandefjord (home/away splits) shipped 3 against a 1.83 concession average — a leakier day than usual.
Verdict
Grading the result against the stored data, 1 of 3 pre-match signals came in: result (hit), Over 2.5 (miss), BTTS (miss). The data was on the wrong side of this result more often than not — a reminder that a single match sits well inside the model's variance.
