Tromsø - Strømsgodset predictions

The odds are definitely leaning in the hosts’ favour, but this match is far from a done deal. Judging by odds alone, Strømsgodset may yet be able to walk away with a draw or even a surprise victory – though it’s still a longshot.

With a price of 6.02 on an away win among most online sportsbooks, it’s clear Strømsgodset will likely not fare well against Tromsø. Even a draw seems to be too optimistic for the away team.

Tromsø have a strong track record when it comes to playing on their home field. Last round they strolled through a relaxed match against HamKam that may not have met everyone’s expectations, but secured the three points either way.

The away team had the advantage of playing at home in the previous round, but their opponents Sarpsborg 08 were still a tough nut to crack. It took them more than half the game to get a leg up, but Strømsgodset eventually pulled through for a narrow 2:1 win.

With a grand total of 0 concessions over their last three Eliteserien games, Tromsø’s defensive line feels like a brick wall. Therefore, To Win to Nil seems like a reasonable choice in this game.

Our confidence in Strømsgodset and, more specifically, their defenses, is shaky at best. After more than 5 concessions in three consecutive home games, most bookies and pundits see them as unreliable.

Tromsø played as the visitors the last time they participated in this showdown, but they managed to win anyway. As such, it’s quite clear why they’re the favourites this Sunday, even though the victory was with a one-goal difference.

Fortunately, both teams will be able to give their all this Sunday. Neither squad has been affected by injuries or suspensions, allowing the coaches to work with all the tools at their disposal.

An Over 2.5 Goals is a great bet if you like staying on the safe side. The betting value for this market is strong compared even to the 1.60, which makes this an easy betting prediction to make.
