Strømsgodset IF
WLLLLL 🔻
Strømsgodset IF will be hoping for a better result following the 5-0 Eliteserien losing effort in their last game against KFUM Oslo.
In that game, Strømsgodset IF had 41% possession and 9 shots at goal with 1 of them on target. KFUM-Kameratene had 13 shots on goal with 7 on target. David Hickson (53'), Obilor Okeke (59', 82'), Jonas Hjorth (69') and Teodor Haltvik (90') scored for KFUM Oslo.
Three or more goals per match were recorded in 5 of the last 6 fixtures where Strømsgodset IF have taken part. Their opponents scored 17 of them in this period whereas Strømsgodset IF amassed a tally of 6.
Going into this one, Strømsgodset IF are without a home win in the past 5 league games. Their fans aren't happy.
Vålerenga
LLDWLL
Since suffering a loss in their previous game against Molde FK in Eliteserien competition, Vålerenga will be aiming to make amends here.
In that game, Vålerenga had 42% possession and 12 attempts on goal with 7 on target. For Vålerenga, the goals were scored by Filip Erik Thorvaldsen (23') and Fidel Ambina (42'). Molde had 21 shots on goal with 7 on target. Magnus Wolff Eikrem (7'), Daniel Daga (80') and Fredrik Gulbrandsen (84') scored for Molde FK.
Vålerenga have had no problems opening up opposition defences of late, scoring 8 goals in their previous 6 matches. While their manager Geir Bakke will no doubt take that as a positive sign, Vålerenga have had their own issues at the back, also conceding in 5 of those same outings. That pattern isn’t assured to be carried forward into this match, though.

Team News: Strømsgodset IF
There’s just the lone fitness concern for the Strømsgodset IF boss Jørgen Isnes to be concerned about thanks to an otherwise robust squad. Eirik Ulland Andersen (Cruciate ligament tear) is out of contention.
In all likelihood, Godset will probably make use of the 4-3-3 formation this time, beginning the first half with E. Holmen Johansen, L. Vilsvik, Bent Soermo, Gustav Valsvik, F. Kristensen Dahl, Herman Stengel, Kreshnik Krasniqi, Fredrik Ardraa, Samuel Silalahi, Ole Kristian Enersen and Marko Lawk Farji.
📰
Team News: Vålerenga
Vålerenga manager Geir Bakke has multiple availability issues to deal with. Henrik Bjørdal (Knee injury) and Omar Bully (Knee injury) are not ready for selection.
From our viewpoint, Enga will likely elect for a 4-3-3 formation, choosing Jacob Storevik, Haakon Sjaatil, Aaron Kiil Olsen, Sebastian Jarl, Noah Pallas, S. S. Thorstensen, Fidel Brice Ambina, Carl Lange, Filip Thorvaldsen, Mees Rijks and Elias Soerensen.
💭
Prediction
We’re of the view that Vålerenga and Strømsgodset IF should both be able to find the back of the net at least once here although it’s difficult at this stage to select a clear winner.
A close call, and we think a draw is quite likely - as are goals. We’re therefore seeing a hard-fought contest, finishing with a score draw at the end of the match.
