Vålerenga will be hoping to bounce back here after the 2-1 Eliteserien loss in their previous game against Sandefjord.

In that match, Vålerenga managed 41% possession and 9 shots on goal with 2 of them on target. The scorer for Vålerenga was Fidel Ambina (40'). Sandefjord got 11 attempts at goal with 4 on target. Stefán Ingi Sigurðarson (34') and Marcus Melchior (77') scored for Sandefjord.

It’s not been often in recent times that Vålerenga have managed to hold out for a full 90 minutes. The facts show that Vålerenga have been scored against in 5 of their previous 6 clashes, leaking 11 goals along the way. It will be interesting to find out if that trend can be continued on here.

A look at their previous results shows us that Vålerenga:

• haven't been beaten in the league by Hamarkameratene in their last 9 matches. A decent run, indeed.
• have not won at home in their last 2 league games.

Hamarkameratene

Following on from suffering a loss in their previous game against Sarpsborg 08 in Eliteserien action, Hamarkameratene and their travelling fans will hope for a better result here.

In that match, Hamarkameratene managed 49% possession and 7 attempts on goal with 4 on target. The only player on the scoresheet for Hamarkameratene was Luc Mares (15' Own goal). Sarpsborg 08 got 17 attempts on goal with 7 on target. Harald Tangen (64'), Sveinn Aron Guðjohnsen (88') and Sondre Ørjasæter (91') scored for Sarpsborg 08.

It is worth noting that Hamarkameratene have struggled for goals over their previous 6 games, recording the unsatisfactory return of just 4. In those fixtures, Kamma have also seen the collective goal aggregate of opposing teams equal 15.

Coming into this fixture, Hamarkameratene haven’t won away from home in the past 8 matches in the league. It's not a good run at all.

An examination of their past head to head meetings dating back to 05/06/2008 tells us that Vålerenga have won 3 of these & Hamarkameratene 0, with the number of drawn results standing at 3.

📋 Team News: Vålerenga

Omar Bully (Knee injury) and Henrik Bjørdal (Knee injury) will be missing for Vålerenga boss Geir Bakke.

It’s our opinion that Enga will probably use the 4-3-3 formation for this one featuring Jacob Storevik, V. Eggen Hedenstad, Kevin Tshiembe, Sebastian Jarl, Vinicius Nogueira, Elias Hagen, Fidel Brice Ambina, Carl Lange, Petter Strand, Muamer Brajanac and Elias Soerensen.

📰 Team News: Hamarkameratene

We’re of the thinking that Kamma might begin the game with a 3-5-2 lineup using Marcus Sandberg, Luc Mares, Fredrik Sjoelstad, B. Ingi Bjarnason, Snorre Nilsen, Aksel Baran Potur, Alwande Roaldsoey, Tore Andre Soeraas, Anton Ekeroth, Kristian Lien and Moses Mawa.

✨ Prediction

One thing is for certain, Hamarkameratene will have a difficult task to find the back of the net against a Vålerenga lineup who certainly have the ability to boss most aspects of this game if it turns out as we expect.

We are predicting a convincing 3-0 margin for Vålerenga at the end of this one.
