Getting closer to the top teams is at stake when these two mid-table clubs battle it out. Both will be aiming to improve their league table standing, Vålerenga in 6th and Haugesund in 7th place.

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Vålerenga and Haugesund.

This pitch has artificial turf, which is not Haugesund's usual surface at their own ground. When playing on artificial turf Haugesund have performed like this: Played 25 matches resulting in 12 wins, 3 draws and 10 defeats with the goal stats 37-31 (scored/conceded).

The Vålerenga fans got no joy from their last match, a Eliteserien game also here at Intility Arena: A 1-2 defeat against Haugesund. 1-1 away at Stabæk before that.

The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Vålerenga matches with similar probabilities have ended with 2 wins, 0 draws and 1 defeat (from three games).

Haugesund form and stats

4 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses. That’s the product of Haugesund, who have the fewest conceded goals (10) away in Eliteserien, playing as the away team this season.

Two travels in a row for Haugesund, whose manager J. Grindhaug could celebrate last time after the Eliteserien win against Vålerenga. A 0-0 draw at PSV's stadium before that.

Looking at the earlier recent performances of Haugesund when being an outsider away as they are today, we find six matches with the visitors losing 4 times, drawing 1 and winning 1 game.

Haugesund are not goal shy away from home, finding the net 14 times in 9 away games so far. As opposed to that, Haugesund have seen the ball go into their own net 10 times on the road.

Head 2 Head

The two sides played each other earlier this season: Vålerenga - Haugesund 1-2. Last ten meetings between the teams: Vålerenga won 4, Haugesund won 4 and 2 draws. 5 games with over 2,5 goals, 5 matches with two goals or less.
