It's game two of the 2. Division season and everything to play for. Read our full preview of Moss-Vålerenga II!

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

5-2-1 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for Vålerenga II 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 eight matches are 24-12 (scored/conceded).

Vålerenga II form and stats

Let's have a look at how Vålerenga II performed last season in the 3. Division: They landed a 8th position in the league table after playing out 5 victories, 2 draws and 6 defeats. In total they scored 14 and conceded 29 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 1 - drew 1 and lost 4 with 4/21 goals scored/conceded.

Vålerenga's previous game was their home loss versus Bærum (2-3). Leading 2-0 was not enough for Vålerenga in their fight with Bærum last time out. Happy faces soon turned sour as mistakes flourished in what ended up a 2-3 loss.

Before that one, a nice away victory 2-1 at Alta.

A quick return to home after this game, as Vålerenga are hosting Hødd in the 2. Division only three days away.

Head 2 Head

Numbers for the last five meetings between these two teams are: three wins for Moss, zero draws and two wins for Vålerenga II. Over 2,5 goals: two times; under 2,5 goals: three games.
