Match description

Start has a clear home advantage: at home they average 1.2 goals per match with an average xG of 1.41 and 0% of home matches without scoring (percentage of home matches without a goal = 0%), indicating consistent creation and conversion of at least one chance. Rosenborg are dramatically ineffective away — averaging 0.0 goals scored on the road, percentage of away matches without a goal = 100% and 0% away wins, despite an away xG of 1.12. Defensively Start concedes 1.4 goals per home match on average (xG against 1.47), while Rosenborg concede 1.8 goals away (xG against 1.88), so the visitors are more exposed at the back on the road. Admittedly Rosenborg have better recent form overall (1.4 points per match in the last 5 with 2 wins, 9 goals in that period), while Start have 0.6 points per match and 1 win (8 goals), but Rosenborg’s poor away efficiency (0 goals, 80% away losses) is decisive. Considering Start’s 3.4 shots on target at home with ~9% conversion versus Rosenborg’s 2.8 shots on target away with practically 0% conversion, I forecast a home victory.
