📏 Form Guide

Vålerenga

WDWLDW

Vålerenga, following on from their previous result, will be hoping for more of the same after a 1-2 OBOS-ligaen success over Raufoss.

For Vålerenga, the goals were scored by Daniel Håkans (13') and Petter Strand (29'). Erlend Hustad (42') scored for Raufoss.

Under three goals per match were recorded in 5 of the past 6 meetings where Vålerenga have been participants. Regarding the goal distribution in this period, their opponents scored an aggregate of 5 and Vålerenga managed a tally of 8.

Their previous form shows that Vålerenga:

• haven't won against Stabæk in their previous 2 league games.
• have not been beaten in their last 3 league matches at home.
• are without a win at home for the past 5 league games. Fans are getting restless.

Stabæk

LDWLDW ⚖

Stabæk go into this meeting after a 1-0 OBOS-ligaen win as they beat Bryne in their last outing.

The only name on the scoresheet from Stabæk was Bassekou Diabaté (11').

The forward players for Stabæk have had real problems scoring goals over their previous six games, recording the disappointing return of just 4. In those fixtures, De Blaa have also seen the collective goal aggregate against them equal 9. That pattern won’t necessarily be sustained into this game, however.

Leading up to this clash, Stabæk:

• are winless against Vålerenga in games played away from home for the previous 3 league games.
• are without a win away from home in their last 14 league matches. What a horror away run it has been.
