No fear and expected victory for Vålerenga II when visiting Lyn

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 Lyn and Vålerenga II.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Vålerenga II have a different surface at their stadium (artificial turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 7-2-5 (win-draw-loss) from 14 matches. This is a match between teams from the same area, a local derby. The community is buzzing.

Vålerenga II form and stats

Rock solid. That's the only way to describe the travels of Vålerenga II so far, with 5-1-0 (wins-draws-losses) so far.

As mentioned earlier, Vålerenga II will not be satisfied unless they get maximum points from this game. Performing as huge favourites away from home has earlier resulted in 1 win (1 by two or more goals winning margin), 0 draws and 0 surprising defeats.
