Valerenga vs Haugesund Predictions

Goals at both ends expected

Twelve of the last 15 Eliteserien meetings between these sides have seen both teams score, and backing both teams to find the net looks the best bet here.

Valerenga are 12th in the Eliteserien, four places above rock-bottom Haugesund, but the two sides are separated by 13 points. Valerenga have won four and lost seven of their 14 games this season, while Haugesund are still searching for their first win.

Valerenga’s recent results have been a mixed bag, with two wins, one draw and three defeats in their last six outings. They have won three of their last four home games against Haugesund, who have lost eight away games in a row.

Both sides have found the net in the last seven Eliteserien meetings between Valerenga and Haugesund, with five of the last six games that Valerenga have hosted Haugesund ending with goals at both ends.

Valerenga have failed to keep a clean sheet in any of their six Eliteserien home games this season, while Haugesund have yet to keep a clean sheet away from home. No team has shipped more goals in the Eliteserien this season than the 36 goals Haugesund have conceded.

It could be hard to separate these two sides, with the 1-1 draw looking like a decent correct-score bet. Valerenga have had three 1-1 draws in the Eliteserien this season and have played three games in a row with fewer than three goals.
