This football stadium has artifical turf, unlike Sandefjord's home ground. The latest 28 games by the visitors on artifical turf have given 8 wins, 2 draws and 18 losses.
This looks to be an intriguing match with lots of spark and energy as both squads are well rested since they last ran out on the pitch. Let's go!
Vålerenga form and stats
The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Eliteserien this season. Vålerenga have only managed 1 win, 0 draws and 6 losses from their games here at Intility Arena. It's been an uphill battle for Vålerenga in their home games for quite some time now, as four matches in a row are lost here. Not since the HamKam game have they avoided the disappointment of defeat.
Vålerenga lost their last game at Odd (placed 7th) after a 1-2 scoreline. Defender Žuta got the top score of the team in the match with a rating of 7.05/10. Žuta won 8 of 13 duels.
Preceding that match was a defeat to Molde (0-4).Lots of goals? Nobody knows about this one, but we do know that 9 of the 12 latest league games with this team has contained at least three goals.
The Vålerenga fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 8 in 7 matches. Vålerenga are struggling defensively, conceding on average more than two goals per home game (16 from 7 played).
Sandefjord form and stats
Sandefjord have only collected 2 points from their away games in the Eliteserien, after 0-2-6 (8 played). A depressing five defeats in a row for Sandefjord in their away games. Unhappy days, as the last time they avoided a loss on the road was versus Brann.
Sandefjord failed to get anything from their last game, a home match vs Bodø / Glimt (placed 1st) that ended with defeat 2-5. As you can tell from the result, the match against Bodø / Glimt was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 7 goals, will the fun continue today? Midfielder Nilsson was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 7.14. Nilsson scored one goal.
Prior to that match, the Sandefjord manager Ødegaard faced defeat when travelling to Lillestrøm and losing 2-4.The attacking power of Sandefjord when travelling is not overwhelming with 6 goals scored from 8 league matches away. The opposition has been scoring high and low on Sandefjord's goalkeeper in away games this season, as they have let in 22 goals in 8 travels.
