Vålerenga will hope to utilise their home advantage to help bridge the gap to today's opponents. The home side are currently 28 points behind Molde.

We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!

Vålerenga are staying put; they can neither be promoted or relegated this season and are fighting only for positions. Happy, happy days for Molde who are already winners of the Eliteserien. This could affect their motivation.
