Stabæk will hope to utilise their home advantage to help bridge the gap to today’s opponents. The home side are currently 13 points behind Vålerenga.

Insights:
  • Vålerenga has the fewest conceded goals in the second half (12) in Eliteserien

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

6-5-4 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for Vålerenga when playing away games on grass, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has artifical turf). Their goal statistics from those 15 matches are 19-16 (scored/conceded).

Relegation threatens Stabæk who should definitely be looking for some points here. Vålerenga are still fighting for the big positions at the top of the table.
