Strømsgodset get ready for this following their 4-0 result vs Hønefoss, a fixture they learned a lot from. How will they do against Vålerenga?
- All of Strømsgodset's home-matches have had more than 2,5 goals.
- Vålerenga have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.
Only a few days to rest for the hosts, as they featured in a NM Cup match only three days ago. That game was an away game at Hønefoss, so at least Strømsgodset are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
Strømsgodset form and stats
Strømsgodset have played three Eliteserien home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 3 points from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead.
Defensively the home team are doing well, with their goalkeeper Viljar Røsholt Myhra not having conceded a league goal in 280 minutes.
Strømsgodset are returning here after visiting Hønefoss in a NM Cup match and winning with a 4-0 scoreline.
In the game before, an away victory in the Eliteserien match versus Kristiansund with a 3-0 scoreline.This is expected to be a close game, with Strømsgodset perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Strømsgodset as a small favourite), we find 10 games. Strømsgodset has won 2 of these, drawn 3 and lost 5.
The manager Wibe-Lund will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Bodø / Glimt in only three days.
The Strømsgodset fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 4 in 3 matches. Neutralizing the opposition is a challenge, Strømsgodset having conceded 8 goals here at Marienlyst Stadion so far.
Vålerenga form and stats
1-0-3 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Vålerenga in their Eliteserien matches away.
Vålerenga's last game ended in a draw, the home match versus HamKam that finished 1-1. Žuta, who plays in defense, got the "man of the match" on his team with the rating 8.11. Žuta scored one goal, hit one key pass and won 5 of 6 duels.
A 0-1 defeat away at Tromsø before that.As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 8 similar matches played by Vålerenga in our archives, and the results are: 3 wins for Vålerenga, 2 draws and 3 defeats.
The schedule is very tough for Vålerenga now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Eliteserien game at Lillestrøm is waiting in only three days.
As for goals scored and conceded in the league games away so far, Vålerenga has managed 4 goals and let in 8 from 4 matches.
