Sunday 24th April 2016 – Kickoff: 2000hrs
Football – Norway – Tippeligaen Betting Tips
Next up is a bottom half clash in the Norwegian Tippeligaen between home side Valerenga and bottom club Start at the Ullevaal Stadion in Oslo with the hosts looking to pull away from the relegation zone in these early stages of the new season.
A 4-0 loss away at Molde isn’t great preparation for them though, but last time out on home turf they thrashed Tromso 4-0 so they will want to repeat this success against a poor Start side today. Valerenga’s home record stands at 1-0-2 4/4 and they’ve recorded mixed results on home turf lately.
Wins over Sarpsborg and Tromso have been tempered by defeats to Viking and Rosenborg but this shouldn’t put punters off as the latter two teams mentioned currently sit in the top seven of the Norwegian Tippeligaen.
Visitors Start sit joint bottom with their hosts with an early poor away record of 0-1-1 0/3 but the bigger picture reflects an even greater problem; it’s now 21 matches without a win for today’s visitors, and this could be 22!
It’s also 11 away matches without success for Start on the road as they’ve really struggled in this division to put any sort of decent run of results together on their travels, conceding 25 goals in this sequence and scoring just 8 in reply.
Start’s problems on the road just won’t stop here I feel, and I’m confident that the hosts will have enough about them here to record all three points in this early relegation tussle.
Pick: Valerenga to win @ 1.50 William Hill
