In this week 2 match, on Sunday Apr 10th, Vålerenga plays host to Haugesund in a clash of these two evenly matched Eliteserien teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy and cold day, with daytime temperatures of only 3 degrees, which will make playing unpleasant. In their last match, 14th placed Vålerenga, recorded a 0-1 loss against Molde. Martin Linnes scored the first goal for Molde in the 57th minute, and that was all the excitement the two teams could muster In the end, Vålerenga couldn’t muster any offence and Molde ran away with the shutout win. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having lost 1 of their last 10, while haugesund is fresh off their 1-3 loss against Sandefjord. Alexander Ruud Tveter scored the first goal for Sandefjord in the 13th minute, then Alexander Ruud Tveter added another in the 27th minute. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having lost 1 of their last 10.
These two teams have not yet played each other this season, so it will be interesting how the match turns out. Last season these teams were evenly matched with 1 win each.
Kristoffer Velde and Sondre Liseth are the top scorers for Haugesund in the last 5 matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats. Fredrik Jensen has been the most effective weapon for Vålerenga lately. The Norwegian midfielder has netted 2 goals in his last 5 matches.
