Sarpsborg 08 Eye Back-to-Back Home Wins as Ham-Kam Visit
Following a tight 1-0 victory over Viking on 12 July, Sarpsborg 08 FF are preparing to welcome Ham-Kam to Sarpsborg Stadium this Sunday. The Eliteserien Round 15 clash kicks off at 15:00 and offers the home side another opportunity to strengthen their top-half standing.
A Hard-Fought Home Win Over Viking
Sarpsborg Stadium was the scene of a tense Eliteserien battle on 12 July, as Sarpsborg 08 FF claimed a narrow 1-0 victory over Viking in front of a packed home crowd. The result extended the club's strong record on home turf and provided a timely confidence boost heading into the second half of the season.
The win keeps Sarpsborg 08 FF sitting seventh in the Eliteserien standings, well in contention for a push towards the European places as the campaign enters a crucial phase.
Ham-Kam Come to Town on Sunday
Attention now turns to Sunday 26 July, when Ham-Kam make the trip to Sarpsborg Stadium for a 15:00 kick-off in Eliteserien Round 15. It is the next chance for the home side to consolidate their position in the table in front of their own supporters, and the head-to-head record favours the hosts — Sarpsborg 08 FF have won five of their previous meetings, with Ham-Kam claiming just two.
After Sunday's fixture, there will be a brief break from home action before Sandefjord visit on 16 August, making this weekend's match a key opportunity for the club to bank more points in front of their passionate fanbase.
A Season Gathering Momentum
The Eliteserien fixture list makes for exciting reading for fans planning their visits to Sarpsborg Stadium this season. Highlights still to come include a derby against Vålerenga on 7 September, a mouth-watering clash against Rosenborg on 18 October, and a season finale against Brann on 6 December.
With the stadium's artificial turf pitch and a capacity of 7,500, Sarpsborg Stadium continues to serve as a formidable home fortress — one that opposing sides will be desperate to avoid leaving empty-handed from.
