Vålerenga
DLWLWL
Vålerenga will be wanting a better result here after the 4-0 Eliteserien loss in their previous game against Tromsø IL.
In that match, Vålerenga had 62% possession and 18 attempts at goal with 3 of them on target. Tromso got 13 shots on goal with 8 on target. Heine Åsen Larsen (12', 45'), Jens Hjertø-Dahl (22') and Troy Nyhammer (80') scored for Tromsø IL.
Fixtures involving Vålerenga have usually been absorbing encounters of late with a lot of goalmouth action the rule rather than the exception. Over their past six clashes, a total of 20 goals have been recorded for both sides combined (at an average of 3.33 goals per game) with 8 of them belonging to Vålerenga. However, it remains to be seen whether that trend will be replicated here in this game.
Taking a look at their past results, Vålerenga:
- have not lost a league tie with Aalesunds FK in their previous 10 matches. Quite a long unbeaten run against them.
- are unbeaten in their previous 3 league matches at home.
Aalesunds FK
LWWDDD
Last time out, Aalesunds FK drew 2-2 in the Eliteserien match with Molde FK.
In that match, Aalesunds FK had 46% possession and 7 shots at goal with 3 of them on target. For Aalesunds FK, the goalscorers were Endre Osenbroch (14') and Mathias Christensen (96'). At the other end, Molde got 20 attempts at goal with 8 of them on target. Oskar Spiten-Nysæter (18') and Eirik Hestad (31') scored for Molde FK.
Aalesunds FK have regularly broken through opposing defences leading up to this encounter, having scored 10 times in their last 6 matches. While their manager Kjetil Rekdal will no doubt take that as a positive sign, Aalesunds FK have had their own issues at the back, also conceding in 6 of those same matches.
Analysis of their past results shows that Aalesunds FK:
- have not won against Vålerenga when they have played them away from home in the previous 5 league matches. Not good.
- haven't been defeated in their previous 2 away league matches.
