Competition: Norway 2. Division

Match begins: 17:00 (UTC)

An important duel in the bottom section of the 2. Division, with both Senja and Vålerenga II experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic "six-pointer" with the home team placed 12th and the visitors in 11th place.

This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!

Vålerenga II have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1500 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Senja form and stats

Senja have played three 2. Division home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 3 points from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead.

Senja lost their last game at Fredrikstad (placed 1st) after a 0-5 scoreline. A defeat was the result before that one, 1-4 away at Alta.

Senja were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one.

The Senja fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 3 in 3 matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Senja defense is not exactly impregnable. 5 goals conceded from 3 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

Vålerenga II form and stats

It's not happening yet for Vålerenga II on their 2. Division travels, with zero points from their first 3 away games. Maybe today will be different? Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Vålerenga's last three away games as they have all been lost.

Vålerenga II's last game ended in a draw, the home match versus Skeid that finished 2-2. Prior to that match, the Vålerenga manager T. Berntsen faced defeat when travelling to Eidsvold and losing 1-4.

Vålerenga are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 1 goal from 3 away games. The Vålerenga defense is as useful as an ashtray on a motorcycle, having conceded 15 goals in their away games.

Head 2 Head

H2H stats regardless of arena (last four matches): Senja two wins, two draws and Vålerenga II zero victories. As for goals, three matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), one game had two or less.
