Both the home- and away side have struggled so far, but a win and three points in this highly important fixture would certainly provide a boost. Let's hear it for Vålerenga - Odd!

Insights:
  • Vålerenga have won significantly more corners at home than away.
  • Odd haven’t played a single 0-0 game.

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 Odd.

Vålerenga form and stats

Vålerenga have played 4 Eliteserien games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 2-1-1 (wins-draws-losses). When Vålerenga hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like Jerv, Kristiansund, Tromsø, Haugesund and Vålerenga), they have won 2 of 2 matches!

Vålerenga are returning here after visiting Brumunddal in a NM Cup fixture and winning with a 4-3 scoreline.

Preceding that game was the away draw at Aalesund that finished 2-2.

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Vålerenga's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played 5 games, won 2 matches, drawn 3 and lost 0.

Vålerenga have conceded 6 from these games.

Odd form and stats

2-0-3 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Odd in their Eliteserien matches away.

Two away matches in a row for Odd, whose boss Johansen could celebrate last time after the NM Cup win against Flekkerøy.

A loss against Molde was the result prior to that, in a Eliteserien home game.

Looking at the earlier recent performances of Odd when being an outsider away as they are today, we find 8 matches with the visitors losing 6 times, drawing 1 and winning 1 game.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Odd as they have only managed to score 3 times from 5 away games in the league. Odd have conceded 6 goals in these away matches.

Head 2 Head

As for the last ten games between these two teams, there's five Vålerenga victories, two draws and three Odd wins. Over/under statistics; five of these games ended with three goals or more, five matches with two goals or less.
