Head-to-head statistics Kristiansund - Rosenborg

Kristiansund Team Overview
Christiansund's main weapon is Leander Alvheim - ten goals in the Eliteserien and joint second in the scoring charts. He got on the scoresheet in Stavanger too, but it wasn't enough to spare Amund Skiri's side from an 8-1 thrashing. At home, Christiansund look a different proposition - the week before, they beat Tromsø without conceding. Goals are a regular feature at their ground: they have scored in 8 of their last 9 matches. The one blank came against Rosenborg in July, when Christiansund lost in Trondheim, conceding three.
Match Results: Kristiansund

Rosenborg Team Overview
Rosenborg are Norway's most decorated club, with 26 league titles to their name. Their ambitions are more modest now, though: they are fighting for European qualification and sit two points behind Lillestrøm. The league has taken notice of their recent run - in July, Alexandersson was named Eliteserien Manager of the Month. The driving force behind that run has been Amin Chiakhа, the league's top scorer. On 12 September, Rosenborg beat Tromsø 5-3. By the 47th minute they were five goals ahead, but then conceded three times in the space of six minutes. In midweek in the cup, they were trailing at half-time to Fløy from the fourth tier, but scored four times in the second half. There are three days between that cup match and the Kristiansund fixture. Their attack has shown no signs of slowing down: Rosenborg have scored at least two goals in each of their last 12 matches in a row.
Match Results: Rosenborg
Prediction for the 1st half
Rosenborg have scored in the first half in 9 of their last 10 Eliteserien matches. The home side's defence offers little resistance to that kind of start: Kristiansund concede an average of 1.22 goals per game at home. The pick is Rosenborg to Score in the First Half.
Correct Score Prediction
Based on statistics and probability distribution, the algorithm identifies three most likely scorelines: 1-2 (10.42%), 1-1 (9.08%) and 0-1 (8.96%). The 1-2 result has the highest probability, but all three options are close.
Reliable Bet
Kristiansund have failed to beat Rosenborg in 17 of their last 19 head-to-head meetings. Recent form reinforces that: the visitors have been picking up points regularly, while the hosts have managed just five wins in 20 matches this season. The bet is Rosenborg not to lose.
⭐ Editor's Prediction
Kristiansund don't produce high-scoring football at home: their last eight Eliteserien matches there have all had fewer than four goals. Rosenborg are equally comfortable in that kind of game. In 12 of their last 13 away Eliteserien matches, they have scored no more than two goals. Even if the hosts get on the scoresheet, that still keeps the total within three. We're not expecting more than three goals from this one. The bet is Total Goals - Under 3.5. Predicted score - 1:2.
