Match Preview

As the finishing line in the 2017 Eliteserien comes into view, Vålerenga IF still have some real relegation concerns. Managed by former Glasgow Celtic coach Ronny Deila, the home side have lost five from six ahead of this week’s Vålerenga IF vs Haugesund preview, making them one of the most out of form sides in the entire division. Their 2-1 win over Brann a couple of weeks ago was their only league win since the end of June.

Haugesund still believe that qualification for next year’s Europa League is a distinct possibility – they currently sit in 5th spot, five points behind Molde in 3rd, though they do have a game in hand. The away team’s difficulties in August set them back somewhat, but they recovered in September, going unbeaten for the entire month. They were turned over 1-0 at Odd just prior to our Vålerenga IF vs Haugesund betting tips, but that was their first loss in four.

Eirik Horneland’s team are currently the lowest scorers in the Eliteserien top ten with twenty-eight goals, just two more than bottom side Viking. However, only table-topping Rosenborg have conceded fewer goals. FKH’s defensive fortitude and lack of firepower look to have had a noticeable effect on the latest football odds though with their opponent’s inept displays at the back in recent weeks, we could see more goals than usual on Thursday.

Vålerenga IF vs Haugesund Prediction and Betting Advice

You can get fantastic odds with Unibet for the away side not to lose this week and given the sides respective form and league placings, that pick is a great way to open today’s Vålerenga IF vs Haugesund bets. FKH haven’t lost to Ronny Delia’s cohort since 2015. Two victories from those three meetings since they were achieved by narrow margins, including this season’s 4-3 result in Haugesund. If those narrow wins suggest that Thursday’s match-up will be a close run thing, the draw no bet option offers the safety of backing two possible outcomes.

The home team have won just one of their most recent nine Eliteserien contests – they are in terrible shape, both physically and mentally. Delia knows that six of his players risk a suspension should they get booked this week, so with more winnable fixtures in the pipeline, those on yellow cards may opt to play in a less risky way on Thursday. That could open the door for Eirik Horneland’s squad to coast past unaggressive opponents in Oslo.

Even though the away side in today’s Vålerenga IF vs Haugesund predictions and football predictions put up some of the lowest number of goals at both ends of the pitch generally, their 4-3 over their hosts this season was one of the most open matches in the 2017 Eliteserien. Up and coming hotshots, 20-year-old Shuaibu Ibrahim and 19-year-old Frederik Gytkjaer, bagged a brace each that day and both players should feature heavily again this week.

Ronny Delia has witnessed over 2.5 goals in all of his team’s last seven matches. His goalkeeper has seen eleven goals go past him in his last four appearances alone. Last week’s 0-1 loss to Odd was the first time the away team had failed to score in seven. 10Bet have amazing value for bettors looking to make the most of this free expert betting pick.
