General match analysis
Brann holds a clear advantage in key metrics: at home they average 14.4 shots and 4.8 on target with 66% possession and xG 1.86, whereas Start on the road records 9.71 shots, 3.71 on target, 39% possession and xG 1.15. Defensively the gap is significant — Brann concedes 1.4 goals per home match, while Start concedes 3.0 goals away and has an average xG against of 1.99, indicating greater vulnerability in their box. In the last five fixtures both sides have posted a similar points return (0.8 points on average), but Brann scored 9 and conceded 12, and Start scored 8 and conceded 13, so both defenses are unstable. Additionally, Start has not won any away matches this season (0% wins) with an 86% away loss rate, whereas Brann wins 40% of home games and has a positive home xG differential (+0.70); therefore I forecast a home victory.
View the statistical overviewBTTS - will both teams score?
Both teams strongly lean toward BTTS: this season Brann has 80% of matches with both teams scoring, Start 71%, versus a league average of 56%. In the last 5 fixtures Brann recorded BTTS in 100% of matches and Start in 80%, indicating a current tendency for both sides to score. Goal and xG metrics confirm open play — Brann averages 1.2 goals per match (xG 1.41) and concedes 1.4 (xG against 1.47); Start scores 1.0 (xG 1.15) and concedes as many as 3.0 per match (xG against 1.99). Start has 0% clean sheets this season, Brann only 20%, and in the last 5 matches both teams conceded on average 2.4 and 2.6 goals respectively, further increasing the likelihood of both teams scoring. For these reasons I recommend BTTS (Yes) as the primary pick and assess the probability at roughly 80% for "Yes" and 20% for "No".
View BTTS statisticsOver/Under - goals analysis
I calculated xG by averaging Brann’s attack (1.41 xG) and Start’s defense (1.99 xG), yielding 1.70 xG for the home side; similarly Start’s attack 1.15 xG and Brann’s defense 1.47 xG give 1.31 xG for the visitors, total xG = 3.01. Season stats show both teams have 100% of matches over 1.5 goals (Brann 100%, Start 100%), and BTTS occurred in 80% of Brann’s matches and 71% of Start’s matches, which increases the likelihood of goals from both sides. In the last 5 matches Brann scores on average 1.8 and concedes 2.4, while Start scores 1.6 and concedes 2.6; Brann has 100% of games >2.5 in the last 5, Start 60%, and the league average is 2.94 goals per game. Based on this I assess probabilities as follows: Over 1.5 — 98%, Over 2.5 — 66%, Over 3.5 — 30% (unders respectively 2%, 34%, 70%); therefore the strongest signal is Over 1.5 and I recommend staking that line.
View Over/Under statisticsHT/FT - half-time and full-time scenario
Data show that the away side often leads at the break – in the last 5 matches Start led at half-time in 60% of cases (3 of 5), while Brann were trailing at half-time in 60% of their games. After the break Start concedes an average of 2.14 goals (average second-half goals conceded), records no second-half wins (0%), whereas Brann win the second half in 40% of matches and score an average of 0.4 goals after the break. Start also has a 0% win rate this season and an 86% loss rate, and concedes on average 3.0 goals per match, which reduces the likelihood of maintaining a lead to the end. xG comparison further favors Brann (xG 1.41 versus Start’s 1.15, with xG against Start 1.99), so the most likely scenario is Start leading at half-time and Brann completing a turnaround – HT/FT 2/1.
