General match analysis
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.
View the statistical overviewBTTS - will both teams score?
Start has a seasonal BTTS rate of 57% and BTTS in the last 5 matches of 80%, while Rosenborg has a seasonal BTTS of 0% but 40% in the last 5 matches. In the last 5 fixtures Start scored 8 and conceded 14 (avg 1.6 scored and 2.8 conceded per game), and Rosenborg scored 9 and conceded 7 (1.8 and 1.4 per game), indicating goals on both sides are likely. Start produces 1.49 xG on average and registers 13.14 shots with 4.14 on target per match; Rosenborg posts 1.12 xG with 10.2 shots and 2.8 on target, so the home side creates more chances while the visitors can still respond. Additionally, the league BTTS is 55% and clean sheet rates are 29% for Start versus 20% for Rosenborg, which also favors a both-teams-to-score scenario; therefore I assess BTTS at 70% vs 30% and recommend the selection "BTTS - Yes".
View BTTS statisticsOver/Under - goals analysis
The xG-based model (attack averages vs defense averages) forecasts 1.69 goals for Start ((1.49+1.88)/2 = 1.69) and 1.24 for Rosenborg ((1.12+1.36)/2 = 1.24), yielding a total of 2.93 goals. The 2.93 projection is close to the league average of 2.98 and clearly above the 2.5 threshold, and in the last 5 matches Start had Over 2.5 in 80% of games while Rosenborg had 60%, which strengthens the signal for Over 2.5. The 1.5 line is almost certain — Start has 100% of home matches with Over 1.5, Rosenborg 80%, therefore I rate Over 1.5 very highly (approx. 90%). Over 3.5 looks unlikely: seasonally Start exceeds 3.5 in only 29% of home games, Rosenborg 0%, and the projected 2.93 is materially below the 3.5 threshold, hence Over 3.5 at roughly ~31%.
View Over/Under statisticsHT/FT - half-time and full-time scenario
Start averages 1.14 goals by half-time and concedes 0.57, while Rosenborg has 0.0 goals by half-time and concedes 1.2. Statistics show Start led at the break in 2 matches (29%) and was level at half-time in 5 (71%), whereas Rosenborg never led at half-time (0%) and were down at the break in 4 cases (80%), suggesting a high likelihood of a draw or the home side leading after 45 minutes. Over the full match Start averages 1.57 points at home and wins 43% of matches, while Rosenborg averages 0.2 points away and has 0% wins, so the hosts are favorites for the final victory. Start produces 1.49 xG and 13.14 shots (4.14 on target) per game versus Rosenborg’s 1.12 xG and 10.2 shots (2.8 on target), indicating more scoring opportunities after the break. Therefore the most likely scenario is a Half-Time draw and a Start win at full-time (HT/FT X/1).
