Match description
I predict an away win (Vålerenga). Vålerenga sit 10th in the table while Start are 16th; the visitors have 3 wins this season versus 0 for Start, providing Vålerenga a clear points advantage. In the last five matches both teams scored 6 goals each, but Start conceded as many as 18 goals in that period versus Vålerenga’s 12, highlighting the home side’s weaker defence. The visitors also have superior shot quality — Vålerenga average 5.25 shots on target and 13.75 attempts per away game versus Start’s 3.75 on target and 12.5 attempts, and higher average xG of 1.60 compared to the home side’s 1.43. Additionally, Start have only 0.2 points per game in their last 5 matches versus 0.8 for Vålerenga, so I assess probabilities as 55% for the away win, 25% for a draw and 20% for the home win.
