Rosenborg form and stats

Two Eliteserien home games so far for Rosenborg, who are yet to win here at Lerkendal Stadion. Only 1 point so far.

A good away victory last time out for Rosenborg, who won 2-1 against Brann (placed 5th). Preceding that match was a defeat to Bodø / Glimt (2-3).

The victory against Brann came after Carlo Holse's winning goal. The Rosenborg manager E. Horneland was very happy afterwards with the decision to bring on that player in the 72nd minute.

The home team are moderate favourites in this game. How does Rosenborg handle that role? We have found six games in our database similar to this one, based on the home odds. The stats for these games are three wins, one draw and two defeats.

The manager E. Horneland will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Stabæk in only four days.

Early season league goal statistics from Rosenborg's 2 home games: 2 goals, 3 conceded.

Vålerenga form and stats

Things could have gone better for Vålerenga in their Eliteserien away matches, but 3 points from 2 games is all right.

Vålerenga go into this game after a win, the home game against Viking that ended 2-1. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Odd wasn't a success with a 1-4 loss.

Deyver Vega came off the bench to score the winning goal in the match against Viking last time out, making the manager D. Fagermo feel like a tactical genius.

Vålerenga are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is one win, zero draws and three defeats. From a total of four matches.

A new game in only three days for Vålerenga, the Eliteserien home match versus Aalesund. Busy days.

As for goals scored and conceded in the league games away so far, Vålerenga has managed 2 goals and let in 4 from 2 matches.

Head 2 Head

Last ten meetings between the teams: Rosenborg won seven, Vålerenga won one and two draws. six games with over 2,5 goals, four matches with two goals or less.
