Match Preview
Haugesund hosts Vålerenga at Haugesund Stadion on Sunday, 24 August, in a crucial Eliteserien clash. Haugesund's recent form has been concerning, with just one win in their last five matches, leading to a drop in confidence. In contrast, Vålerenga has shown more resilience, securing two wins in their last five outings. Historically, this fixture favours Haugesund, who have won six of the last ten encounters, but their current struggles could level the playing field.
One interesting angle to consider is the likelihood of both teams scoring. The last ten meetings have seen both sides find the net in eight instances, and with odds of 1.66 for BTTS, this could be a valuable bet. Additionally, the trend of over 2.5 goals being scored in six of those ten matches suggests that an open game is on the cards. With Haugesund needing to turn their form around and Vålerenga looking to build momentum, this match could deliver plenty of action.
