Can Jacob Pryts secure a permanent deal?

With solid performances in his early matches, he appears to be becoming a vital security for for the squad throughout the season. Sarpsborg 08 currently sits 9th in the Eliteserien with 22 points from 6W-4D-7L in 17 matches, with a recent form of LLDWD.

Will the women's team chase a new record at Sarpsborg Stadion?

Sarpsborg 08 women have an exciting opportunity to make history in the Norwegian 2. division. On Sunday, fans are invited to set a new Norwegian attendance record for a women's match at Sarpsborg Stadion. This is a rare chance to support women's football that is performing strongly on the pitch.

Will Sarpsborg 08 hold onto Sander Christiansen?

Sporting director Hampus Andersson at Sarpsborg 08 is clear that the club does not want to sell their best midfielders to direct competitors. Brann has shown great interest in the 25-year-old Sander Christiansen, but management views the player as crucial for their further development. It would take a lot for the club to let him go to a rival in the same league.

Sarpsborg Arbeiderblad reports that despite the interest from Brann, Sarpsborg 08 definitely wants to keep Christiansen in the squad. The player has a central role in the team's play and the club wants to build around this foundation in the Eliteserien. The team has scored 20 goals and conceded 23 this season, giving them a goal difference of -3.
