Stavanger dominated the Norwegian competition throughout the season. They lost only eight meetings within the regular season, winning 36. Playoff matches are more difficult, but the home court helps them significantly.
Storhamar got to the final by accident, as the team didn't shine during the regular season but won a couple of series in the playoffs. Their performers are inferior in level to the leaders of the region, so one should not overestimate their current achievements.
It is an enormous advantage for Stavanger to open the final series with a home game. And the superiority in skill level that we have seen during the entire the season is likely to bring a positive outcome.
Our prediction: Stavanger to win. We recommend the “1 Win” bet, odds 1.81
