After the first games for these two it's Vålerenga - Haugesund 0-0 in points. Who will carry the day in this second Eliteserien match of the season?

7-11-12 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for Haugesund when playing away games on artifical turf, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has grass). Their goal statistics from those 30 matches are 39-52 (scored/conceded).

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

Vålerenga form and stats

The season before, Vålerenga's league stats were 11 wins, 12 draws and 7 losses, results that produced 7th position in the Eliteserien. Over these 30 matches they scored 46 goals and conceded 37. Performing as the host team in the former season Vålerenga generated 7-7-1 (win-draw-lost) with 27 goals and 14 conceded.

Vålerenga lost their last game at Molde (placed 5th) after a 0-1 scoreline.

The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Vålerenga matches with similar probabilities have ended with one win, three draws and one defeat (from five games).

Haugesund form and stats

Let's have a look at how Haugesund performed last season in the Eliteserien: They landed a 11th position in the league table after playing out 9 victories, 8 draws and 13 defeats. In total they scored 46 and conceded 45 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 1 - drew 5 and lost 9 with 16/28 goals scored/conceded.

Haugesund's previous game was their home loss versus Sandefjord (1-3). The attacker Gong got a match rating of 7.43 in that game. Gong scored one goal.

Preceding that, the 1-2 home loss versus Molde.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Haugesund playing away, we found four games. Results were one away win, two draws and one home win.

Head 2 Head

As for the last ten games between these two teams, there's four Vålerenga victories, one draw and five Haugesund wins. Over/under statistics; eight of these games ended with three goals or more, two matches with two goals or less.
