Start vs Sarpsborg 08 FF (29 November 2026, Eliteserien): match facts, H2H and recent form

Start host Sarpsborg 08 FF on their own turf in a clash that could prove pivotal for both sides.

Sarpsborg sit comfortably in ninth place, holding 25 points after six victories, seven draws and seven losses, and enjoy a modestly positive goal difference of 23‑26. The gap of nine points means the visitors will be looking to close the distance on the European spots, while Start will be desperate to pick up any points to steer clear of the relegation zone.
