General match analysis
The favorite is Tromsø: they sit 1st with 6 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss this season, while Start has 0 wins, 3 draws and 4 losses. In the last 5 matches Tromsø averages 2.0 points per game (3 wins, 1 draw, 1 loss), whereas Start manages just 0.4 points per game (0 wins, 2 draws, 3 losses). In terms of offensive efficiency Tromsø have scored 14 goals this season and average 1.5 goals away with a conversion rate of 12%, while Start have 5 goals this season and average 1.0 goal at home with a 7% conversion; average shots on target are 6 vs 5 per match. The visitors’ defense looks stronger — Tromsø concede 0.5 goals away and have 50% clean sheets, whereas Start have conceded 15 goals in 7 matches (2.14 per match) and have 0% clean sheets at home. xG are similar (Start 1.68 at home vs Tromsø 1.54 away), but the edge in efficiency and form favors a Tromsø win.
View the statistical overviewBTTS - will both teams score?
Despite Start's low seasonal BTTS rate of 17% and 67% clean sheets in home matches, the last 5 fixtures tell a different story: Start scored 4 and conceded 12 goals in their last 5 (avg 0.8 scored and 2.4 conceded), with BTTS occurring in 80% of those games. Tromsø has a seasonal BTTS of 50%, scored 14 goals this season (versus Start's 5) and netted 6 goals in their last 5 (avg 1.2), indicating the visitors are capable of scoring. xG and shots data confirm the two-way risk: in the last 5 matches Tromsø average 1.75 xG vs Start's 1.31, while Start concedes on average 1.89 xG with a similar number of on-target shots 5.83 vs 6.0. Start's seasonal home figures (1.83 goals per game at home and xG 1.86) show some attacking potential, but the heavy number of goals conceded in form (12 in the last 5) outweighs the historical clean sheets. Considering the strong signal from the last 5 matches and Tromsø's clear offensive advantage in xG and seasonal goals, I assess BTTS probability at 65% and recommend the 'BTTS - Yes' selection.
View BTTS statisticsOver/Under - goals analysis
The model projects xG of 1.55 for Start and 1.29 for Tromsø, total 2.84 goals, close to the league average of 2.9. Start scores 1.83 goals at home on average and has 83% of matches with over 1.5 goals, while Tromsø scores 1.50 away with 50% of such matches — this provides a strong signal for Over 1.5. The season share of matches above 2.5 is around 50% for both teams (league 52%), but in the last 5 games Start conceded 12 goals (2.4 avg) and had 80% of matches with both teams scoring, which raises the chance of Over 2.5 to about 60%. Tromsø has away xG of 1.54 and concedes on average 0.5 away, which limits the probability of a very high-scoring affair, so Over 3.5 is rated at about 33%. As a result I recommend backing Over 1.5 as the strongest signal (approx. 85% probability).
View Over/Under statisticsHT/FT - half-time and full-time scenario
The strongest signal is X/2 (draw at half-time, away win): Tromsø were level at the break in 2 of 2 matches (100%) and have 100% win rate in second halves, including 100% away wins and an average 3.0 points per away match. Start led at the break in 3 of 6 fixtures (50%) and scored 7 first-half goals compared to 2 conceded (7 vs 2), and their clean sheet percentage at half-time is 83%, which explains the likelihood of an even opening period. Both teams create similar chances: xG 1.86 for Start versus 1.54 for Tromsø, and average goals 1.83 vs 1.5; meanwhile the visitors concede only 0.5 goals per game on average, giving them a defensive edge in the closing stages. In the last 5 matches Start have 0% wins versus Tromsø’s 60% wins, and last-5 average points 0.4 for Start vs 2.0 for Tromsø; therefore I assign X/2 the highest probability at 32%, with 1/1 as an alternative at 23% due to Start’s frequent leads at half-time.
