Haugesund vs. Stabaek

A pair of teams off of ties in their first Eliteserien contests square off here. Haugesund struggled defensively last season, surrendering 51 goals in 30 matches, the fifth-most in the 16-team league, while the offense netted 39 goals. They're home for this one, and they have gone OVER 2.5 goals in six of their last 10 home contests. Stabaek comes off of a 2-2 DRAW with Odd. Last season, they had a good offense (41 goals), but they allowed 45 in 30 matches. Also, 11 of their last 18 road games have sailed OVER 2.5 goals. The last three meetings between these rivals have been 2-1, 3-1, and 4-1 finals, and this one shapes up as another offensive show. Play this game to go OVER the total.
