Vålerenga II massive favourites before trip to Grei

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Grei and Vålerenga II.

These teams are so close in distance that this match is special, a derby with local pride the main prize.

Grei form and stats

The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the 3. Division this season. Grei have only managed 2 wins, 2 draws and 5 losses from their games here at Greibanen. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Grei with their four defeats in a row. Not since the Mjøndalen II game, 49 days ago, have they avoided a loss. Grei are very eager to stop a potential losing streak at Greibanen, having lost their two previous games here.

Grei's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 2-6 versus Vålerenga II. Prior to that, an away loss at Follo.

Despite playing at their own arena the home team are massive underdogs in this game. The home fans will enjoy their drinks and snacks knowing that the chances of points are very slim. When Grei have been in this position before, they have won 0, drawn 0 and lost 1 from one game. 1 defeat by at least two goals.

Grei are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 11 goals in 9 attempts. Grei have conceded 18 goals in these home games, a significant number.

Vålerenga II form and stats

The strength of Vålerenga II, who have the most scored goals (66) in 3. Division, on their travels this season is incredible with 22 points collected from 8 3. Division away games. Vålerenga II has 7-1-0 on the road, with 30 goals scored and 11 conceded. Vålerenga II are enjoying a nice run from their away games now, having played eight in a row without losing. Impressively, the visitors are on a eight-match winning run which they hope continue versus Grei.

It's the second away game in a row for Vålerenga II, but there's smiles all around after the 6-2 victory versus Grei in the 3. Division last time out. A home win before that, celebrating 6-0 vs Drøbak / Frogn.
