In early April, the new season of the Major League started in Norway. Let’s discuss one of the matches in the eighth round.
Rosenborg finished 5th last season. And in the new championship, he managed to play seven games. The results are average: only one defeat, but only 2 victories, mainly draws. Now the club is on the 8th line in the standings. A month ago, the “little trolls” took away points from the silver medalist of the last championship – “Molde”.
“Haugesund” performs much worse. In the 2021 season, the team took 11th place. And now – in general, in the relegation zone, on the 15th line. All the fault for as many as 6 defeats in 8 matches. Basically, the team suffers from leaders: they just got 4 goals from Bodø/Glimt; before that, they lost 1:5 to Viking and 0:1 to Lillestrom.
Bookmakers do not doubt the victory of the hosts. The chances of their success are close to 65%. Therefore, you can bet on the success of Rosenborg with a coefficient of 1.56. P2 can be taken with a coefficient of 5.80.
Despite the fact that Haugesund and Rosenborg met twice last year. Both games finished with the same result of 0:0. The teams played the pre-season friendly encounter with the same score – zero points. In 2020, they exchanged home wins. That is, out of the last 4 matches, Rosenborg won only one. Not too confident about a favorite.
But given the current form of Haugesund, it is still logical to bet on the hosts. However, the ratio is not attractive.
Therefore, let’s pay attention to the total. Rosenborg is quite productive, breaking through a total of 2.5 goals in 4 out of the last 5 matches. And then Haugesund arrives, which, although losing, can still punish any grandee with a goal in its performance: 1:4, 3: 1, 4:0, 2:0, 1:5 – the results of the latest matches.
Although earlier teams often played under (0.5), the current form indicates the opposite. Therefore, I will bet on Total Over (2.5) with a coefficient of 1.63.
