The visiting Vålerenga side should be favourites in this visit to Aalesund, as the away team holds a 35 point advantage from their 24 league games this season.
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
Aalesund form and stats
The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Eliteserien this season. Aalesund, who have the most conceded goals (71) in Eliteserien, have only managed 1 win, 2 draws and 9 losses from their games here at Color Line Stadion. The season ticket holders are starting to dread their visits here at Color Line Stadion, with the home team losing five in a row. They have not avoided a defeat here since the Viking game.
In their previous game, the manager L. Nilsen led his Aalesund to a defeat in the Eliteserien match away at Bodø / Glimt. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Color Line Stadion. A strong away win before that one, visiting Haugesund and winning 1-0.
Aalesund 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 Aalesund fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 14 in 12 matches. Neutralizing the opposition is a challenge, Aalesund having conceded 33 goals here at Color Line Stadion so far.

Did you know that the longest clean sheet streak is 1816 minutes? This record is held by Mazaropi when he played in Vasco da Gama. Vålerenga goalkeeper Kristoffer Klaesson is eager to challenge this, with his 188 minutes of keeping balls out from the net.
