Rosenborg vs Start

Rosenborg are in good form and closing in on a valuable European place as the league enters its final stretch. To secure it, they need three points in today's match against bottom side Start. The situation is therefore clear: the home side have everything to play for, and their opponents sit at the foot of the table.

The natural partner in this Bet Builder is Amin Chiakha, who has scored in 12 of his last 13 matches. That is an impressive run, and it suggests he regularly gets into the right positions. If Rosenborg are able to control the game in the way the league table might suggest, it is easy to picture Chiakha getting chances. The two legs are linked: a Rosenborg side that wins is probably also a Rosenborg side creating enough for their striker to get on the scoresheet.

Even so, I think the combination makes sense. Rosenborg have a clear need for the win, Start are bottom of the table, and Chiakha is going through a spell in which he is scoring very consistently. I'm going with a Rosenborg win and Chiakha to score at 1.78.
