Match description
Sarpsborg 08 is the favorite: they sit 6th (Rosenborg 16th) and have a 100% win rate away, averaging 2.0 goals scored and 0.0 conceded per away match. Rosenborg have not scored at home yet (0.0 goals average, 100% of home matches without a goal) and concede 2.0 goals per game, with an average of 1.0 shots on target per match versus 6.0 shots on target for the visitors. Despite higher possession (61% vs 36%), the hosts are inefficient — their shot conversion is 0% versus 25% for Sarpsborg, and xG is 1.37 for Rosenborg and 1.26 for Sarpsborg, indicating the visitors convert chances more effectively. In the last 5 matches Rosenborg have 1 win and 4 losses, conceding 10 goals, while Sarpsborg have 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses, scoring 6 goals and averaging 1.4 points per match over this period. Given Rosenborg’s 0 home goals, 100% of home matches without a goal and Sarpsborg’s 100% clean sheets away, I predict an away win.
