Midtjylland and Vålerenga get a break from their league challenge to fight for a possible trophy in this Atlantic Cup Group Stage fixture.
8-6-5 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for Vålerenga when playing away games on grass, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has artifical turf). Their goal statistics from those 19 matches are 29-24 (scored/conceded).
Vålerenga could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Atlantic Cup game only three sleeps ago.
