Match Preview
Vålerenga will host Haugesund at the Intility Arena on Sunday, 20 July, in a match that sees the home side looking to build on their recent form. With two wins in their last five matches, Vålerenga has shown a degree of resilience, particularly at home. In contrast, Haugesund has struggled significantly, failing to secure a single point in their last five outings, which places them under considerable pressure as they seek to turn their fortunes around.
Historically, Vålerenga has dominated this fixture, winning six of the last ten encounters, with a notable trend of both teams scoring in eight of those matches. Given Haugesund's defensive vulnerabilities and Vålerenga's attacking capabilities, the odds of 1.67 for both teams to score (BTTS) appear appealing. Additionally, with over 2.5 goals occurring in six of their last ten meetings, the match could see a flurry of goals, making the 1.4 odds for this outcome worth considering. Overall, Vålerenga's home advantage and Haugesund's poor form suggest a likely win for the hosts.
