VALERENGA v TROMSO
Monday 14th August 2017 – Kickoff: 1900hrs
Football – Norway – Eliteserien Betting Tips
Valerenga will be keen to bounce back from defeat last time out in the Norwegian top flight this evening when they take on bottom club Tromso at their Ullevaal Stadion, following a loss away at Stromsgodset.
Valerenga were dished up a 2-0 defeat at mid-table Stromsgodset last week, but they now return to their home ground where they’ve suffered just one defeat throughout this season to date – that being a 2-1 loss to Sandefjord.
But Valerenga have responded well since that defeat as they’ve put together a six-match unbeaten sequence which includes wins over bottom half outfits Sogndal, Kristiansund and Lillestrom, amidst an overall solid home record of 4-3-1 12/6. Tromso are another bottom half occupant here.
Visitors Tromso have had to endure a long and tough campaign so far this season as they sit bottom of the Norwegian Eliteserien, and six points adrift of safety and Sogndal ahead of this tricky trip to Valerenga on Monday night.
They come into this encounter looking to avoid a fourth consecutive defeat on the trot following losses to Haugesund, Sandefjord and Molde, in addition to scoring just 1 goal for and conceding 7 against in this recent slump.
Eight league matches without a win tells its own story, while away from home, they’ve lost their last four on the trot amidst an overall away record of 2-1-6 7/19, failing to score in four of these matches, along with failing to keep a single clean sheet to date on their travels.
I’ll therefore back Valerenga to grab the points here.
