Vålerenga form and stats

The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Eliteserien this season. Vålerenga have only managed 1 win, 1 draw and 7 losses from their games here at Intility Arena.

Vålerenga travelled for their previous game, a trip to Molde that ended 0-0. Storevik, who guards the goal, was given a match rating of 8.1 out of 10 in that game. Storevik topped it up with a clean sheet.

In the match before that, Vålerenga hosted Haugesund and drew the game 1-1.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Vålerenga have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 7 games) they have won 3 times, drawn 2 and lost 2.

Vålerenga are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 11 goals in 9 games. Goals are flowing in at the wrong end for Vålerenga with 20 goals conceded in these matches.
