Valerenga Preview – Can Valerenga bounce back?
Saturday’s hosts, Valerenga, were dealt a 2-1 defeat away from home at Start last time out in the Norwegian top flight but they return to their Intility Arena for this upcoming clash against lowly Sandefjord where they’re unbeaten so far this season.
5th placed Valerenga will therefore be keen to return to winning ways here in order to keep in touch with the top three clubs in the Eliteserien, and having lost just one of their previous 10 matches, the hosts still look in fairly good shape to produce a positive response in this encounter.
Form at home has been solid so far this season as Valerenga possess an overall home record which stands at 3-3-0 11/7 and includes wins against Viking, Haugesund and Stromsgodset along with picking up points in draws with Stabaek, Aalesund and Bodo/Glimt, while also scoring 2 goals in five of their six home matches to date.
Sandefjord Preview – Can Sandefjord improve on road?
11th placed Sandefjord were also handed a defeat last time out in the Norwegian top flight as they lost 2-1 at home to Bodo/Glimt and they face a tough outing this Saturday evening as they prepare for this clash against a solid Valerenga outfit in their own backyard.
Four wins from their last seven matches overall in the Eliteserien suggests that Sandefjord have made an improvement over recent weeks and this may well be the case as it’s an improvement upon their previous five-match losing streak, but can they grab all the points at Valerenga?
An away record of 2-0-5 9/16 suggests this could be a tough ask for the visitors, especially when looking at the bigger picture of their results away from home in the Eliteserien; Sandefjord have won just two of their previous 20 matches on their travels.
