Stromsgodset vs Valerenga Predictions

• Strømsgodset have the best points-per-game ratio at home in the league.
• Only Molde have a better away record than Vålerenga this season.
• Strømsgodset have won seven out of the last 10 home games against Vålerenga.

Godset face stern test of impressive home record

Strømsgodset host Vålerenga on Sunday in a classic matchup between a formidable home side and a brilliant road team.

Godset have relied on their home form more than any other Eliteserien club this season, taking ten of their 11 total points at Marienlyst Stadion.

They return south licking their wounds from a 3-0 mauling by Molde, although they won’t be the only club to suffer a similar fate this season.

Last Thursday, they crushed Sandefjord 4-0 and we expect them to be something more like the side that performed that night against the visitors from Oslo.

Vålerenga brushed Sarpsborg aside despite the absences of key players Kjartansson and Dønnum, who are injured.

But they were hardly missed as Henrik Udahl stepped up by striking two goals in a comfortable victory.

Although they have won three of their five road games this season, including against table-toppers Molde, we are forecasting a lively stalemate in this one because Godset are so good at home.

Take the draw in the match betting and 1-1 appeals most in the correct score market as neither of these have shown much defensive stability of late.
