Their goals for and against point to an open game. Their records put over 2.5 goals at 62%. Three of the last five meetings went over 2.5.
The bets. Best bet: Over 1.5 Goals at 1.09, 77% on the records (Stabaek IF: over 1.5 goals in 8 of 8; Sandnes Ulf: over 1.5 goals in 7 of 8). Backup: Stabaek IF or Over 2.5 Goals at 1.11. It often rescues the bet, but it is no guarantee. Leave: Sandnes Ulf Under 1.5 goals (Stabaek IF's own games don't back it (2 of 8)); Under 4.5 Goals (no unders on an open read); Under 5.5 Goals (no unders on an open read). Predicted score: Stabaek IF 2-1 Sandnes Ulf (9% chance).
Every score's chance from both teams' checked games, never cut or rescaled. The lit square is the likeliest score that fits the read (an open game).
