Start vs Sandefjord: our match analysis
Why this is our tip
- Table. Start: 16th, 19 points from 25 matches (5W 4D 16L). Sandefjord: 12th, 27 points (7W 6D 12L).
- Attack and defence. Goals per game in this competition: Start 1.1 scored and 2.3 conceded, Sandefjord 1.0 scored and 1.3 conceded.
- Form in the competition. Start: 4W 4D 15L, goals 25–54; Sandefjord: 6W 6D 11L, goals 22–30.
- Head to head. Head to head over 11 meetings: Start 2 wins, Sandefjord 5 wins, plus 4 draws; goals 11–20.
What to expect
We see a fairly level contest. The projected scoreline is 2–2, close to 4 goals in the game, and the outcome we rate highest is 1–1 (10.8%). We expect goals and an open game.
The two signals clash: on table position the Sandefjord look stronger, yet the bookmakers rate the home side a little higher. A game like that is hard to predict, so playing it safer with your bets makes sense.
On goals we like Both teams to score (odds 1.55), with a probability of 62% by our reckoning. By our numbers, both teams scoring is 62% and over 2.5 goals is 59%.
Main points of the prediction
- Meetings: 11; Start 2 wins, 4 draws, Sandefjord 5 wins.
- Average goals in their meetings: 2.8 per match.
- This competition, scored–conceded: Start 25–54, Sandefjord 22–30.
- Projected: close to 4 goals; probability of over 2.5 goals 59%.
- Not available: Start 4, Sandefjord 5.
Alternative tip: Both teams score: yes
Other option: Both teams score: yes (probability 62%, odds up to 1.55). We project close to 4 goals, which points the same way.
Absences
Not available for Start: J. Husebo, F. Manojlovic, E. Segberg, K. Tonnesen. Not available for Sandefjord: D. Koswal, F. Loftesnes-Bjune, M. Melchior, N. Moller, E. Hadaya. Line-ups can still change, so look at the team news again before kick-off.
