Valerengen Oslo vs Fredrikstad

[ivanppetrov]

Fredrikstad going to Ullevål to face Vålerenga.
There are many teams that hope to stay in the battle for a top 3 position and currently Fredrikstad made the best and are currently nr 1, but there are not many points to lose before they are nr 6. From 1th to 10th there are only 10 points in between. We have Fredrikstad, Stabæk, Rosenborg, Brann, Vålerenga, Viking, Lyn and Tromsø which are all more than capable for challenging a medal, even the gold, but for Vålerenga, this is a must-win-situation. They are 7 points behind, and losing this match would mean 10 points behind, but a victory will send them only 4 behind and still in the gold game.
Fredrikstad is the best hometeam in tippeligaen standings 7 0 1 18:6 21p.
But when it comes to leaving Fredrikstad 2 2 3 7:12 8p.
For leading team this is a weak away-statistic. More losses than victories.
Then the hosts, Vålerenga:
Home 3 3 1 8:4 12p. Away 3 0 5 11:15 9p.
As I've seen and we can tell from the statestics, Vålerenga play much better at home, especially in defence, but have been unlucky and got some draws which should have been victories. They have only conceeded 4 in 7 home matches, but it doesn't make it any better when they have only scored 8.
The last draw against Tromsø was after a heavy shedule playing the cup, and also the second match against Tromsø that weak, but Vålerenga was really close winning that one. But the round before that they humiliated top team Stabæk, so they are playing great at home, so I believe Fredrikstad will have troubles playing Vålerenga.
Last 4 meetings between them in tippeligaen;
24/09-07 Vålerenga vs. Fredrikstad 2:0
10/09-06 Vålerenga vs. Fredrikstad 5:1
16/05-05 Vålerenga vs. Fredrikstad 0:0
08/08-04 Vålerenga vs. Fredrikstad 3:0
Fredrikstad are not supposed to be 1th in Tippeligaen and after this match Stabæk will take back the tup possition in Tippeligaen.
I believe Vålerenga just are playing better and better, and now facing awayweak Fredrikstad will give Vålerenga a great oportunity for an important 3pointer.
