General match analysis
Viking is the clear favorite: at home they average 4.0 goals per match (16 goals and a +9 goal difference in home games) and have a 100% win rate at home, while Rosenborg averages 0.0 goals on the road and in 100% of away matches failed to score. The hosts average 15.33 shots and 7.33 on target per home match with a conversion rate of 26%, whereas the visitors on the road average 9.33 shots and only 3 on target with a 0% conversion, which clearly translates into the goal difference (4.0 vs 0.0). In terms of chance quality, Viking have 1.79 xG at home versus Rosenborg’s 1.12 xG away, so the hosts create better opportunities and the visitors, despite 1.12 xG, did not convert them into goals. Form further favors the hosts: Viking have won 5 of 5 recent matches and scored 15 goals in those five games, while Rosenborg’s last 5 show 1 win, 2 draws and 2 losses with an average of 1 point per match. Considering the 100% home win rate for the hosts, 0% away wins for the visitors, the advantage in shots on target (7.33 vs 3) and higher xG, I tip a Viking victory and assess their chances at about 80%.
View the statistical overviewBTTS - will both teams score?
Rosenborg has serious finishing issues — only 3 goals this season and an average of 0.6 goals in the last 5 matches, while Viking has 16 goals this season and 15 in the last 5 (avg 3.0). Viking creates more chances: 11.67 shots and 3.0 on target per game vs Rosenborg’s 9.33 shots and 3.0 on target, and their recent xG is 1.78 vs the visitors’ 1.26, indicating higher attacking quality from the home side. Although Viking has 67% of matches season-to-date with BTTS, Rosenborg has 0% BTTS this season and only 40% in the last 5 matches — suggesting visitors typically fail to add a goal. Considering Viking’s 15 goals in the last 5 vs Rosenborg’s 3 and a shots-to-goal conversion of 9% for Viking vs 0% for Rosenborg, I pick BTTS - No with a probability of 70% vs 30% for BTTS - Yes.
View BTTS statisticsOver/Under - goals analysis
I back the Over market, primarily the 1.5 line — Viking is in excellent form: in the last 5 matches they scored 15 goals (3.0 goals per match) and have an average xG of 1.78, while Rosenborg scored 3 goals in their last 5 (0.6 average) with an average xG of 1.26; together this projects roughly 2.92 goals. Season-long metrics support this trend: Viking have 100% of matches with over 1.5 goals, Rosenborg 67%, and Viking have scored 16 goals this season versus Rosenborg’s 3 — a strong signal for Over 1.5. Averaging last5 xG yields about 1.68 for the home side ((1.78+1.57)/2) and 1.24 for the away side ((1.26+1.22)/2), so I adopt expected goals of 1.68 and 1.24. Although season percentages for Over 2.5 are mixed (Viking 33%, Rosenborg 0%), Viking’s last 5 matches show 80% Over 2.5, therefore I rate Over 2.5 as a moderate 64% and Over 3.5 as low at 26% (seasonally both teams are 0% above 3.5). In summary — the strongest signal is Over 1.5, with expected goals 1.68 for the hosts and 1.24 for the visitors (total ~2.92).
View Over/Under statisticsHT/FT - half-time and full-time scenario
Viking are in very good form: in their last 5 matches they have 5 wins (100%) and led at the break in 5 of 5 games (100%), scoring an average of 2.0 goals by half-time. Rosenborg in their last 5 matches have only a 20% win rate and 0% leads at the break, with an average of 0.4 goals by half-time, which demonstrates their poor attacking form. In terms of chance quality the hosts have an xG of 1.31 versus 1.12 for the visitors, more shots (11.67 vs 9.33) with an equal 3.0 on-target per match, and the hosts’ conversion rate is 9.0% versus 0.0% for the visitors, suggesting a Viking advantage in finishing. Half-time statistics confirm the hosts’ favoritism: they have scored a total of 12 goals by the break in their last 5 matches and have an average half-time points of 1.0 versus 0.33 for the visitors, indicating a high probability of Viking leading after 45 minutes and maintaining the lead until full-time. Therefore I select the 1/1 scenario (hosts lead at half-time and win at full-time) as the strongest signal from the data.
