Moving nearer to the top sides is the subject when these mid-table sides do battle. Both will be targeting to strenghten their league table standing, Vålerenga in 10th and Rosenborg in 7th spot.
- Vålerenga have not yet lost a game at home.
- Rosenborg have yet to win a game away.
This arena has artifical turf, which is not Rosenborg's normal surface at their own ground. When appearing on artifical turf Rosenborg have performed like this: Played 27 matches yielding 7 wins, 9 draws and 11 defeats with the goal stats 38-44 (scored/conceded).
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Vålerenga form and stats
Vålerenga have collected seven points from their first three Eliteserien games here at Intility Arena, a promising start.
Vålerenga are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-2 away versus Lillestrøm. Bjarnason, defender, was given a rating of 7.34/10 in that game, top of the team. Bjarnason won 3 of 6 duels.
Heartbreak before that as Vålerenga lost 2-3 at Strømsgodset's place.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 5 games. Vålerenga has won 2 of these, drawn 2 and lost 1.
The Vålerenga fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 4 in 3 matches. From these home matches, Vålerenga have conceded only 2 goals.
Rosenborg form and stats
Playing away, Rosenborg have won 0 games, drawn 3 and suffered 1 defeat in the Eliteserien this season.
Rosenborg's last game ended in a draw, the home match versus Haugesund that finished 3-3. A comeback secured a 90 minute draw in the match against Haugesund. Rosenborg were trailing 0-2 but refused to surrender and clawed their way back to 3-3, with Reese scoring the equalizer. Pereira, who plays in defense, got the "man of the match" on his team with the rating 8.45. Pereira scored one goal, hit two key passes and won 3 of 5 duels.
Ahead of that match was the away draw versus HamKam that ended 1-1.As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 7 similar matches played by Rosenborg in our archives, and the results are: 2 wins for Rosenborg, 2 draws and 3 defeats.
