Kristiansund
WLLWLW
Kristiansund, following on from their previous result, will be hoping for more of the same after a 2-3 Eliteserien victory over Tromsø IL.
In that match, Kristiansund had 40% possession and 10 attempts at goal with 5 of them on target. The scorer for Kristiansund was Sander Kilen (57', 74', 89'). For their opponents, Tromso got 18 attempts at 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 suffering a loss in their previous game against Rosenborg BK in Eliteserien competition, Vålerenga will be aiming to make amends here.
In that match, Vålerenga had 51% possession and 18 attempts on goal with 9 of them on target. On the other side, Rosenborg had 12 attempts at goal with 5 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.

Team News: Vålerenga
Thanks to a mainly available group, there is just the sole fitness worry for the Vålerenga manager Geir Bakke to be concerned with. Omar Bully (Knee injury) misses out for this game.

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.
