Moss vs Raufoss: match statistics

Moss holds an advantage in chance creation and control: at home they average 15 shots, 4.5 shots on target and 52% possession, while Raufoss away manage only 8.14 shots, 1.71 shots on target and 41% possession. This is reflected in xG and efficiency — Moss generates 1.64 xG per home match versus 0.90 xG for Raufoss away, while the visitors concede 2.26 xG per away game. Offensively Moss scores 1.5 goals per home match and has 0% clean-sheetless games, whereas Raufoss scores only 0.71 goals away and fails to score in 43% of their away fixtures; defensively the visitors also concede more (3.0 goals away vs 1.83 conceded by Moss at home). Looking at the last five matches, Moss scored 9 goals with a 1-1-3 record (0.8 points per match), and Raufoss scored 8 goals with a 2-0-3 record (1.2 points per match), but the quality of created chances (shots on target 4.5 vs 1.71 and xG 1.64 vs 0.90) favors the hosts. Therefore I forecast a Moss win (1), as superiority in shots, higher xG and the visitors’ significantly higher away loss rate (86% losses) position the home side as favorites.

Both teams have season BTTS rates of 57% (Moss 57% and Raufoss 57%), while the league BTTS average is 60%, indicating the league’s propensity for Goal/Goal outcomes. In the last 5 matches Moss recorded BTTS in 80% of games and Raufoss in 60%, giving a strong trend signal in favor of both teams scoring. Moss at home averages 1.71 goals per game (xG 1.45), whereas Raufoss concedes 3.00 goals per game seasonally (xG against 2.26), so the home side has realistic scoring opportunities. Raufoss scores only 0.71 goals seasonally, but in the last 5 matches they averaged 1.6 goals (last5 xG_for 1.34) and have not kept away clean sheets (0%), which increases the likelihood they will also score. Considering both teams have been conceding an average of 2.8 goals in their last 5 matches and the league average is 3.75 goals per game, I assess BTTS at 75% vs 25% and tip BTTS - Yes.

Based on xG and opponent defense I calculate expected goals: Moss has xG 1.45 (avg 1.71 goals scored per game) and Raufoss concedes 2.26 xG, giving Moss ~1.86 expected goals; Raufoss has xG 0.90 (seasonal 0.71 goals per game) and Moss concedes 1.53 xG, giving Raufoss ~1.22, total ~3.08 goals. Seasonal metrics confirm an offensive profile — Over 1.5 occurred in 71% of Moss matches and 86% of Raufoss matches, and Over 2.5 in 57% and 86% respectively; in the last 5 matches Moss has 100% over 2.5, Raufoss 80%. Moss averages 12.57 shots and 4.0 on target, Raufoss 8.14 and 1.71, while Raufoss concedes 3.0 goals seasonally and has 0% clean sheets, increasing the likelihood of goals from both sides. Considering combined expected goals (~3.08), high seasonal Over 1.5/2.5 shares and recent form (last 5: Moss scored 9, Raufoss 8), I estimate probability of Over 1.5 at ~92% and Over 2.5 at ~80%. Therefore I recommend betting Over 1.5 as the strongest, lowest-risk signal — Over 1.5 is supported by xG as well as seasonal and recent data for both teams.

Moss has a clear offensive and quality advantage: goals per game 1.71 versus Raufoss’s 0.71 and xG 1.45 versus 0.90, with Moss averaging 4.0 shots on target compared to Raufoss’s 1.71 and a conversion rate of 14% versus 9%. Raufoss have serious defensive issues — they concede on average 3.0 goals per match, and in the second half they concede an average of 2.0 goals and lose 71% of second halves, which increases Moss’s likelihood of maintaining or extending a lead after the break. Regarding the half-time situation, Moss led in 29% of matches, while Raufoss were trailing at half-time in 57% of their games — a combined signal that the probability of Moss leading at the break is high (I estimate ~43% chance of Moss leading at half-time). Given the above, the safest scenario is Moss leading at half-time and winning the match (1/1); I assign this a 33% probability, alternatively X/1 20%, and the combined chance of Raufoss turning the game around after the break is 23%.
