REF’s picks

Backing over 2.75 goals looks a solid angle in this Eliteserien basement battle, given both teams' defensive vulnerabilities and urgent need for three points. Kristiansund have shipped heavily in recent weeks, while Aalesund's fixtures regularly see plenty of goalmouth action.

1. 1Both defenses have struggled badly this season, conceding at a high rate against sides across the table.
2. 2The desperation of two teams sitting in the relegation zone should lead to a more open, attacking game as it progresses.
3. 3A cagey opening spell or an early tactical stalemate could keep things tight initially before fatigue sets in.

REF's own opinion, not a guarantee — nothing here is financial or betting advice, and the call is always yours.
