Kristiansund

WLLWLW

Kristiansund, following on from their previous result, will be hoping for more of the same after a 2-3 Eliteserien victory versus Tromsø IL.

In that match, Kristiansund had 40% possession and 10 shots on goal with 5 on target. The only player to score for Kristiansund was Sander Kilen (57', 74', 89'). At the other end, Tromso got 18 shots on goal with 6 of them on target. Jakob Romsaas (36') and Ieltsin Camões (95') scored for Tromsø IL.

Kristiansund have been conceding pretty frequently of late, although they have also found ways to convert their own chances into goals. Looking at their last 6 games, Kristiansund have seen their goal breached in 6 of them as well as getting on the scoresheet in 5 of those matches. Putting that to one side, we will just have to wait and see whether that pattern will be replicated in this game.

Vålerenga

DWWDLL ⚖

Since tasting defeat last time out to Rosenborg BK in Eliteserien competition, Vålerenga and their fans will hope to get a better result this time.

In that game, Vålerenga managed 51% possession and 18 attempts at goal with 9 of them on target. Rosenborg got 12 shots at goal with 5 of them on target. Marius Broholm (2') and Emil Ceïde (65') scored for Rosenborg BK.

The stats tell the story, and Vålerenga have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 games, seeing opposing sides hit 7 goals overall. In defence, Vålerenga just haven’t been too solid at all.

Pre-game facts show that Vålerenga:

• have left without a victory over Kristiansund in games played away from home for the previous 4 league games. They'll be keen to stop this run.
• are without an away win for the past 2 league games.

↔️ Head to head

Inspecting their most recent head to head meetings stretching back to 16/05/2021 tells us that Kristiansund have won 4 of these and Vålerenga 2, with the number of drawn results standing at 0.

An aggregate of 18 goals were scored between the two sides during those clashes, with 9 of them for KBK and 9 netted by Enga. That’s an average goals per game of 3.

ℹ️ Team News: Kristiansund

It’s our opinion that KBK could use a 4-3-3 formation for this one featuring Adrian Saether, Ian Hoffmann, M. Berntsen Olsen, Dan Peter Ulvestad, Frederik Flex, Rezan Corlu, Wilfred George Igor, R. Kristensen Alte, David Tufekcic, Alioune Ndour and S. Hestetun Kilen.

🗞️ Team News: Vålerenga

Out of a mainly full-strength group of players, there’s only the lone fitness worry for the Vålerenga gaffer Geir Bakke to contend with. Omar Bully (Knee injury) won’t be playing here.

We’re of the thinking that Enga appear most likely to begin the game with a 4-1-4-1 lineup by sending out M. Smelhus Sjoeeng, Haakon Sjaatil, Sebastian Jarl, Kevin Tshiembe, Vinicius Nogueira, Fidel Brice Ambina, Magnus Bech Riisnaes, H. Roervik Bjoerdal, Carl Lange, Elias Soerensen and Muamer Brajanac.

🔮 Prediction

Our feeling is that Kristiansund may not find it easy to register a score against this Vålerenga lineup who we reckon will end up scoring and possibly keep a clean sheet as well.

Therefore, we predict a highly competitive game with a 0-1 winning score for Vålerenga at the end of the match.

Let’s see what happens.
