That's how they've played so far. Where the model has Sarpsborg 08 finishing in May, and the odds on going down, come with a free account.
What the numbers say
Season to date, measured against the rest of the division.
Attack
Creating like a side further up the table
6th in the division for big chances created more than 3 of the 8 sides above them.
35
big chances
Attack
Wasteful, not toothless
Scoring about 15% below what their shot volume supports. Finishing that far below the run rate usually corrects.
0.85
goals per expected
Defence
Cutting things out early
2nd for interceptions without living on their clearances. That is defending before the danger, not during it.
203
interceptions
Overall
Giving the ball away
Dispossessed 176 times, more than all but a handful in the division. Territory earned and handed straight back.
