Bryne vs Sarpsborg 08 Mega Jackpot Prediction
Relegation-threatened newcomers Bryne FK face a crucial Eliteserien encounter at Bryne Stadion as they host mid-table Sarpsborg 08, who arrive with superior away form and a need to secure points for a comfortable mid-season finish.
Current Form
Bryne FK and Sarpsborg 08 head into this late-November action with the hosts desperate to arrest a slide that has left them in the drop zone, while the visitors look to bounce back from a recent home defeat but can draw confidence from their solid record on the road.
Bryne’s most recent outing ended in a heavy 5-0 thrashing away to champions Bodø/Glimt, exposing defensive frailties against top-tier opposition.
The promoted side have struggled for consistency in their return to the Eliteserien, winning just a handful of games all season and suffering several heavy defeats, including multiple high-scoring losses that have undermined occasional resilient performances.
Sarpsborg 08, meanwhile, were beaten 0-2 at home by local rivals Fredrikstad in their last league fixture, halting a spell of decent results.
Despite that setback, the Blue and Whites have generally performed creditably this term, losing only occasionally while picking up valuable draws and wins, particularly away from Sarpsborg Stadion where they have proven hard to break down.

Home and Away Form
Bryne have found the transition to top-flight football challenging at Bryne Stadion, where the passionate home support has not always translated into points against more experienced sides.
The Reds have occasionally shown fight to grind out narrow victories over fellow strugglers, but they have also shipped goals generously in several home contests, leaving them vulnerable heading into the final rounds.
Sarpsborg 08 have been one of the division’s stronger travellers this season, collecting a healthy haul of points through disciplined defending and quick transitions that have frustrated hosts and earned crucial victories.
La 08 have demonstrated resilience on their travels, often keeping clean sheets or conceding minimally while capitalising on counter-attacking opportunities to secure results that have kept them clear of trouble.
Head-to-Head Record
The sides shared the spoils in a 1-1 draw when they met earlier this season at Sarpsborg Stadion in June 2025, continuing a pattern of tightly contested affairs.
Prior to that, the last three competitive meetings (all from lower divisions) also ended level, with the most recent clashes producing under 2.5 goals on each occasion.
Across 14 historical encounters, Bryne hold a dominant record with six wins and eight draws, while Sarpsborg 08 are yet to claim a single victory in this fixture – a statistic the visitors will be eager to change.
Team News
Bryne coach Kevin Knappen has a few concerns heading into the weekend, with midfielder Andre Remi Svindland sidelined by a knee injury, Selmer Mats Thornes recovering from an ankle problem, and Sjur Torgersen Jonassen doubtful due to thigh issues.
Otherwise, the squad is largely available, and Knappen is expected to retain the organised 4-3-3 setup that has offered occasional stability.
Sarpsborg 08 travel with a virtually full-strength group, reporting no fresh injuries or suspensions following the international break.
Head coach Stefan Billborn should name a similar XI to recent weeks, sticking with the flexible 4-3-3 / 4-2-3-1 formation that has served them well on the road and allowing creative talents like Henrik Meister and Jo Inge Berget freedom in the final third.
