This football stadium has grass, which is not Vålerenga's familiar surface at their own football stadium. When playing on grass Vålerenga have performed like this: Played 16 matches earning 5 wins, 4 draws and 7 defeats with the goal difference 24-29 (scored/conceded).

Vålerenga could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a NM Cup game only four sleeps ago. That game was also an away game, at Råde. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.

Two away games in a row for Vålerenga, whose boss Fagermo could celebrate last time after the NM Cup win against Råde.
