In this week 4 match on Apr 24th, Vålerenga and Jerv will play a match in Oslo in a meeting of these two mismatched Eliteserien teams. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 9 degrees, making for an unpleasant day. Vålerenga sits at 14th place in the tables. In their last match they recorded a 1-5 loss against Bodø / Glimt. Ola Solbakken scored the first goal for Bodø / Glimt in the 36th minute, then Ulrik Saltnes added another in the 41st minute. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having lost 2 of their last 10, while 6th placed Jerv is fresh off their 1-0 shutout win against Kristiansund. Doguhan Simsir scored the first goal for Jerv in the 29th minute, and with that single goal the scoring was complete. Neither team could manage anything else At the end of 90 a dissapointed Kristiansund couldn’t manage to score, and Jerv took the shutout win. Jerv is looking for direction having earned 13 points in their last 10 matches.
These two teams have not yet played each other this season, so it will be interesting how the match turns out.
Willis Alves Furtado and Doguhan Simsir are the top scorers for Jerv in the last five matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats. Viðar Örn Kjartansson has been the most effective weapon for Vålerenga lately. The attacker has netted 2 goals in his last 5 matches.
