Odd - Stabæk betting tips and odds

Stabæk will give Odd a run for their money and there is no doubt about it. However, at 2.50 odds on home win in this match, we still recommend backing the hosts.

The visitors are well-aware of the task ahead. Beating Odd is difficult under any circumstances and doing it on their own turf would be an even bigger achievement for Stabæk.

Odd’s victory was priced at around 6.50 in the previous round, so the 3:1 defeat at the hands of Viking wasn’t much of a surprise. They managed to put up a decent fight in the first half, though, despite the home-field disadvantage and overwhelming odds against them.

Stabæk faced Rosenborg in the previous round as hosts. With most bookmakers online pricing a home win at 3.30, even the draw at half-time was somewhat surprising. The stalemate didn’t last, however, and Rosenborg decisively won the game 1:3.

A high concessions rate is not a good look to have, and Odd have been on a downward spiral when it comes to their defensive performance. With 5 goals conceded over their past 3 games, there’s definite room for improvement.

Stabæk can’t really boast a great record when it comes to playing as visitors. They conceded upwards of 5 goals in their most recent 3 away games. Considering they’re heading into another away game, that’s cause for concern.

The recent history of this matchup reveals a good part of why the hosts are considered the favourites. A quick look at the stats shows a decisive victory over Stabæk. The most recent clash between the two squads is from last season, though.

This will no doubt be an exciting match because both squads will be able to come out in full force. No players have been sidelined due to injury or suspension, and this goes for both sides.

Over 2.5 Goals is easily the safest bet when it comes to this matchup. The best part is that it also maintains a decent betting value, especially if you use the 1.72 odds offered at bwin.
