This is the Eliteserien season opener for these teams, who are finally competing for points again. Will Vålerenga or Rosenborg get that important first win?

This pitch has artifical turf, which is not Rosenborg's usual surface at their own ground. When playing on artifical turf Rosenborg have performed like this: Played 24 matches resulting in 8 wins, 9 draws and 7 defeats with the goal stats 34-37 (scored/conceded).

Vålerenga form and stats

This is expected to be a close game, with Vålerenga perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Vålerenga as a small favourite), we find six games. Vålerenga has won five of these, drawn zero and lost one.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Vålerenga as they are travelling to their away game against Brann in the Eliteserien. That match is three days after this one.

Vålerenga have spent many days and weeks preparing for this match, with countless hours on the training pitches and four practice matches played. These training games have ended with 2 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat. Some might be interested in the goal production stats for these matches; Vålerenga scored 12 goals and let in 7 goals during these four games.

Last season, Vålerenga's league statistics were 15 wins, 10 draws and 5 losses, resulting in a 3rd position in the Eliteserien. Over these 30 matches they scored 51 goals and conceded 33. Playing at home last season Vålerenga managed 10-5-0 (win-draw-lost) with 33 goals and 13 conceded.

Rosenborg form and stats

A new game in only four days for Rosenborg, the Eliteserien home match versus Viking. Busy days.

Just as the home team, Rosenborg have been through a few friendly games in the intense training period that just finished. The results from these training matches are 4 Rosenborg wins, 0 draws and 1 loss.

Let's have a look at how Rosenborg performed last season in the Eliteserien: They landed a 4th position in the league table after playing out 15 victories, 7 draws and 8 defeats. In total they scored 50 and conceded 35 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 5 - drew 4 and lost 6 with 16/19 goals scored/conceded.

Head 2 Head
