General match analysis
Sandefjord have a clear home advantage: Start have lost 80% of their away matches, scoring just 1.0 goals and conceding as many as 2.6 per game on the road. The hosts do draw frequently at home, in 50% of their matches, but their defence allows opponents an average of 1.0 goal, while Start have kept no clean sheets away from home. Sandefjord have scored 20 goals and conceded only 5 in their last five matches, recording 2 wins, 2 draws and just 1 defeat during that run. Chance quality also slightly favours the hosts, whose average xG stands at 1.51 compared with Start’s 1.42, while their xG allowed is lower: 1.63 versus 1.93. Start have won 3 of their last 5 matches, but their very poor away record and -16 goal difference on the road point to a greater likelihood of a Sandefjord victory.
View the statistical overviewBTTS - will both teams score?
Start has recorded BTTS in 70% of its league matches, well above the league average of 57%, while Sandefjord has seen this scenario in 50% of games. The hosts are in very strong attacking form: they have scored an average of 4.0 goals across their last five matches, with BTTS landing in 60% of them. Start has conceded as many as 2.6 goals per game this season and has kept no clean sheets, which significantly increases Sandefjord’s chances of scoring. However, the visitors have posted an xG of 1.97 across their last five matches, while Sandefjord has allowed chances worth 2.16 xG during this period, making a Start goal a realistic scenario as well. Although both teams have conceded an average of only 1.0 goal per game in their last five matches, the combination of high attacking potential and Start’s defensive problems points towards BTTS - Yes.
View BTTS statisticsOver/Under - goals analysis
Sandefjord are well positioned to increase their goal tally, averaging 1.64 xG, while Start allow opponents 1.93 xG and concede as many as 2.6 goals per match. The visitors have kept no clean sheets, and both teams have surpassed the 1.5-goal mark in 90% and 100% of their matches, respectively. Sandefjord have scored 20 goals in their last five matches, although the forecast is tempered by the fact that Start conceded just 1.0 goal per game over the same period. Start’s attack also remains capable of responding, with an average xG of 1.42 compared to the 1.44 xG allowed by the hosts. Over 1.5 is the strongest pick, as it requires only two goals against a projected total of 3.32 goals and exceptionally high historical hit rates for this line.
View Over/Under statisticsHT/FT - half-time and full-time scenario
A draw at half-time is a realistic scenario, as Sandefjord were level at the break in 3 of their last 5 matches, while Start recorded the same outcome in 50% of their away fixtures overall. However, the hosts have a clear advantage over the course of the full match: Start have lost as many as 80% of their away games and concede an average of 2.6 goals on the road. Sandefjord’s attacking potential is reflected in their xG of 1.64, higher than Start’s 1.42, while the hosts have scored an impressive average of 4.0 goals per match across their last five fixtures. The second half could prove decisive, as Start concede an average of 1.7 goals after the break away from home, whereas Sandefjord have scored an average of 3.0 goals in the second half across their last five appearances. Therefore, the most likely scenario is a balanced start, followed by the result turning in the hosts’ favour.
