Betting guide: Rosenborg favourite to beat Start at Lerkendal Stadion

We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!

Start play their home games on artifical turf, while this game is played on grass. Recent stats for Start when playing on grass are 3 wins, 4 draws and 6 defeats from 13 matches. They have scored 16 goals and conceded 20 times in these games.

Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 800 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.

Rosenborg form and stats

The home supporters can't complain about results here at Lerkendal Stadion as Rosenborg, who have the fewest conceded goals (22) in Eliteserien, have scored 27 goals to get 24 points from 11 games. The overall stats in the Eliteserien are 7-3-1 (wins-draws-losses). Rosenborg has a nice streak going on as they have played ten consecutive leaguegames without losing (regardless of home/away). They are keen to extend their tally, a streak that began after the Odd defeat 90 days ago. Hopes of three in a row are alive for Rosenborg after consecutive victories at their own ground.

It's back home for Rosenborg, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Sarpsborg 08 away with the result 2-1. Dino Islamović and Pa Konate found the net in that victory. A 0-0 draw away before that, with Kristiansund the opponent.

Rosenborg are believed to win this game, given a winning chance of about 70% by the bookmakers. We have checked our records for their performance in similar circumstances and found nine matches and the win/draw/lost stats: Won nine, drew zero and lost zero.

With an average of more than two goals per home game in the league (27 in 11 games), Rosenborg's attacking play is working. 12 goals have been conceded.

Start form and stats

There's been little loot from Start's travels as they have only collected 3 points from 10 away games in the Eliteserien. Start only have 0 wins to counter their 7 defeats and 3 draws. Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in ten away games in a row.

The manager J. Hardarson was unhappy after their last game, a Eliteserien match played at their home ground Sparebanken Sør Arena. Start suffered a 0-1 loss to Sandefjord (placed 11th). A 1-1 draw at Strømsgodset's stadium before that.

We have done a similar check as we did with the hometeam, looking up recent matches where Start played away with similar odds. This revealed two games. The visitors overcame the odds to win zero times, zero were draws and the home team won as expected two times.

The attacking power of Start when travelling is not overwhelming with 8 goals scored from 10 league matches away. The opposition has been scoring high and low on Start's goalkeeper in away games this season, as they have let in 25 goals in 10 travels.
