After seeing our winning run end at five at the Club World Cup on Tuesday, The Football Bet of the Day returns on Saturday and sees me head to the Norwegian third tier, and I’ve highlighted a goals-based selection in one of the fixtures.
⚽️ Sotra vs Sandnes Ulf
🇳🇴 Division 2
⏰ Saturday 5 July, 12:00
The top two in the Norwegian Division 2 Group 1 meet at the Straume Stadion on Saturday lunchtime as leaders Sotra hosts second-placed Sandnes Ulf in a fixture that appeals to me for goals.
Renate Blindheim’s hosts have slammed in 25 goals across their opening 12 contests in the Norwegian second tier this term, with a league-high 17 (68%) of them coming on home soil.
The league leaders have found the back of the net in each of their past 11 league outings, striking 2+ goals in eight (73%) of them – including in 5/6 (83%) of them in front of their supporters – and will look to breach a Sandnes Ulf defence that has kept just three clean sheets this season, shipping multiple goals in 4/6 (67%) of their road trips.
Arturo Cleveland’s visitors have fired in 32 goals across their opening 12 matches since relegation to the Norwegian third tier, with a league-high 18 (56%) of them coming on their travels.
The Wolves have failed to score in just one of their opening 12 league outings this term, notching on multiple occasions in nine (75%) of them – including in 5/6 (80%) of them away from home – and will look to get on the scoresheet once again against a Sotra defence that has recorded a solitary shutout at home in the league this season.
