Vålerenga form and stats

The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Eliteserien this season. Vålerenga have only managed 2 wins, 2 draws and 8 losses from their games here at Intility Arena.

Vålerenga lost their last game at Lillestrøm (placed 6th) after a 0-2 scoreline. Defender Strandberg got the top score of the team in the match with a rating of 6.84/10. Strandberg won 3 of 6 duels.

Before that game, the home loss against Brann with the scoreline 1-2.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Vålerenga have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 6 games) they have won 3 times, drawn 1 and lost 2.

Take note: 10 of the latest 12 league games from these players have had goals from both teams.

Vålerenga are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 17 goals in 12 games. Vålerenga are struggling defensively, conceding on average more than two goals per home game (25 from 12 played).

Rosenborg form and stats

There's been little loot from Rosenborg's travels as they have only collected 9 points from 12 away games in the Eliteserien. Rosenborg only have 2 wins to counter their 7 defeats and 3 draws. Bitter travels for Rosenborg as they have lost four games in a row away from home. The last time they avoided an away-from-home loss was the Haugesund match.

Rosenborg delivered a 1-1 draw playing at home against Stabæk (placed 14th) in their previous game. Tangvik had red hot gloves after the game against Stabæk, shaping the outcome of the game with eight saves made. Tangvik was the team player of the game with the player rating of 9.01. The agile goalkeeper Tangvik saved a penalty.

Prior to that match, the Rosenborg manager Maalen faced defeat when travelling to Sarpsborg 08 and losing 2-5.

Rosenborg are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 1 win, 2 draws and 7 defeats. From a total of 10 matches.

Goal hungry football fans should note that 13 of this side's 17 latest league rounds have ended with three goals or more.

The Rosenborg manager Maalen has some worries about the defense as 25 goals have been conceded in these travels.

Head 2 Head
