Venue: Marienlyst Stadion (8935 seats)

The visiting Vålerenga side should be favourites in this visit to Strømsgodset, as the away team holds a 15 point advantage from their 15 league games this season.

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.

Strømsgodset form and stats

The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories so far this season. Strømsgodset have only managed 2 wins, 1 draw and 5 losses so far from their games here at Marienlyst Stadion. With Strømsgodset having lost three times in a row here, the pressure is increasing on the manager B. Ingebretsen. Strømsgodset has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager B. Ingebretsen and the players.

The Strømsgodset fans got no joy from their last match, a Eliteserien game also here at Marienlyst Stadion: A 1-3 defeat against Bodø / Glimt. Prior to that, an away loss at Lillestrøm.

The Strømsgodset fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium, the tally being 11 in 8 matches. Goals are flowing in at the wrong end for Strømsgodset with 18 goals conceded in these matches.

There were no winners in Vålerenga's previous match, a Eliteserien home game that ended 1-1 vs Kristiansund. That result followed a home victory 6-0 versus Bodø / Glimt.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Vålerenga manager R. Deila as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Stabæk.

Vålerenga has displayed an ability to score goals in away matches this season, 12 goals from 7 games. Vålerenga have conceded 13 goals in these games.
