Only a few games have been played in the Eliteserien so far, with Vålerenga placed 9th and Viking sitting in the 13th position.
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 Viking.
Vålerenga form and stats
A Eliteserien draw at home so far for Vålerenga. Last season their home statistics were 6 wins, 4 draws and 5 defeats from 15 matches.
No payout for Vålerenga in their previous match, an away game at Odd that ended in defeat 1-4. Preceding that game was the home draw versus Stabæk that ended 2-2.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Vålerenga as they are travelling to their away game against Rosenborg in the Eliteserien. That match is four days after this one.
Early season league goal statistics from Vålerenga's 1 home game: 2 goals, 2 conceded.
Viking form and stats
The visitors' first away game in the Eliteserien ended in defeat. Last season Viking had these away match statistics: Played 15; won 4, drew 4 and lost 7.
There were no winners in Viking's previous match, a Eliteserien home game that ended 1-1 vs Mjøndalen (placed 7th). Preceding that game, the 0-3 loss visiting Brann's place.
The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Sandefjord in just four days.
It's early days yet, but Viking has scored 0 and conceded 3 goals from their travels in the league so far (1 game).
