Aalesund vs Stromsgodset Predictions

• Over 2.5 goals have been scored in four of Aalesund’s last five matches.
• Stromsgodset have seen over 2.5 goals scored in each of their last six matches, scoring 15 and shipping 11.
• Only five Eliteserien teams have outscored the visitors this term, but only two have a worse defensive record.
• The teams’ last eight meetings have all seen both teams net and contained a total of 35 goals.

Lively affair anticipated in Norway

Aalesund and Stromsgodset are separated by just four points in the Norwegian Eliteserien table, and have a history of entertaining contests; in their last eight head-to-head meetings, a huge 35 goals have been scored and no clean sheets have been kept. Goal-hungry punters might be tempted, then, to give Saturday’s clash a closer look, with both teams also entertaining during the 2022 season.

Aalesund have gone five games without keeping a clean sheet, conceding two goals in each of their last three, yet their only defeat in that time came against champions Bodo/Glimt. Four of those games have seen both teams net and featured over 2.5 goals, and Lars Arne Nilsen’s men have scored twice in three of their last four home matches.

Stromsgodset, meanwhile, hammered league leaders Lillesrom 3-0 in their last outing after going down 5-1 to Sarpsborg one week earlier. The last six games to feature Stromsgodset have contained over 2.5 goals, and while they have an attacking record bettered only by five Eliteserien sides, only lowly Haugesund and Valerenga have conceded more than their 20 strikes against.

Entertainers can bring the goals

With both sides being involved in a number of high-scoring contests of late, backing both teams to net and over 2.5 goals to be scored looks a good value play. Meanwhile, the visitors have only lost one of their last eight games, winning five during that spell, so a 2-1 win for the two-time Eliteserien champions looks a decent correct score prediction.
