The visitors score an average of 1.88 goals but concede as many as 2.38 per match, strengthening the prediction of at least two goals, especially as Haugesund score an average of 1.60. In their last five appearances, Haugesund scored 17 and conceded 11 goals, with all of those matches exceeding the 2.5-goal line. An additional argument is the highly goal-rich league, averaging 3.87 goals per match, with 74% of games finishing Over 2.5 goals. The strongest selection remains Over 1.5 goals, as even in a more cautious scenario, the attacking potential of both teams should be enough to produce at least two goals.

The visitors are nevertheless more dangerous after the break, scoring an average of 1.38 goals, so there is also a notable chance of a draw or a turnaround after an early lead for the hosts. The strongest individual scenario, however, remains Haugesund leading at half-time and securing the full-time win (1/1).
