Prediction
Our feeling is that Aalesunds FK can and should see a lot of the ball and convert quite a few goal-scoring opportunities.
In contrast, Start could well find it tough to get a goal of their own but we can see them seeing enough of the ball to score, too.
We therefore think that it’s going to be a fairly comfortable 3-1 margin for Aalesunds FK at the end of the match.
