Here's another appealing match in the Eliteserien. Haugesund is in the 14th spot from featuring in five matches. They host Vålerenga who are placed 10th from five fixtures.
- Haugesund have not yet lost a game at home.
- Vålerenga have scored more than double the goals of Haugesund.
This arena has grass, which is not Vålerenga's everyday surface at their own football stadium. When appearing on grass Vålerenga have performed like this: Played 16 matches earning 6 wins, 3 draws and 7 defeats with the goal data 26-28 (scored/conceded).
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.
Haugesund form and stats
OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Haugesund's two home games in the Eliteserien so far this season, having collected 4 points here at Haugesund Stadion.
Haugesund are anxiously hoping for a goal as it's been 270 minutes since the last one in league fixtures. (Scored by Krusnell). Defensively the home team are doing well, with their goalkeeper Egil Selvik not having conceded a league goal in 190 minutes.
The home team returns to Haugesund Stadion after drawing with Aalesund (placed 16th) on their last time out; the game ended 0-0. Goalkeeper Selvik got the top rating on the team in that game; 8.01 out of ten. Selvik topped it up with a clean sheet.
In the match before that, Haugesund hosted Sarpsborg 08 and drew the game 0-0.There will be little rest for Haugesund after this match as they are travelling to Rosenborg for a Eliteserien game in only three days.
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Haugesund at home in the league. 3 on target and 2 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.
Vålerenga form and stats
It's gone fairly well in the Eliteserien away games so far for Vålerenga with six points collected from three matches.
It's the second away game in a row for Vålerenga, but there's smiles all around after the 3-1 victory versus Rosenborg (placed 11th) last time out. Those three points felt good as this club had gone three league matches without victory. Bjørdal got a match rating of 8.6 in that game, top player of the team. Bjørdal scored one goal, served one assist, hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 2 of 4 times.
A loss against Lillestrøm was the result prior to that, in a home game.After this away game Vålerenga return home for a Eliteserien game against HamKam. That game is only three sleeps after this.
The travelling fans enjoy Vålerenga's attacking play in away games, having scored 5 goals in 3 league matches away. As opposed to that, Vålerenga have seen the ball go into their own net 4 times on the road.
Head 2 Head
Haugesund-Vålerenga H2H statistics last ten meetings regardless of arena: Haugesund four wins, Vålerenga four wins, two draws. seven of these ten matches had three or more goals (over 2,5).
