Sandefjord – Start

Sandefjord will host a struggling Start side in what promises to be a pivotal clash for both teams. Sitting 13th with 20 points from five wins, five draws and nine defeats, the home side have scored just 16 goals while conceding 24, highlighting a fragile defence that will be tested. Start, currently 16th with 16 points after four victories and four draws from 20 matches, have managed 22 goals but have been porous at the back, letting in 41. The two clubs have already met this season, and with the table so tight around the relegation zone, the encounter could prove decisive for their survival hopes.
