Haugesund vs Valerenga Prediction and Match Preview

Haugesund vs Valerenga Match Preview

Valerenga’s success streak continues with another 4-0 victory over Sarpsborg in their most recent league game. They are now on a two-game winning streak and there is one shared factor in their previous three league victories. Its their Danish striker Elias Sorensen who scored 5 goals during that time. Valerenga even lost one of their previous four league games and that game didn’t include Sorensen.

But Haugesund’s case is not the same because they have been losing matches quite regularly in the recent past several matches. From 18 rounds of Eliteserien, Haugesund gained only a single victory and this poor performance relegated them to the last spot in the table.

No matter what they have attempted in terms of formations, Toni Korkeakunnas was unable to crack the code to get Haugesund score at least one goal in every match except in their recent league game when they scored 3 past Sarpsborg. His next challenge comes against a good looking Valerenga team and it would be even more challenging since Valerenga possess a six-match unbeaten run against Haugesund.

Haugesund vs Valerenga Prediction

3-2 victory against Sarpsborg brought an end to the Haugesund team’s nine-game winless streak. But only one win does not say it all particularly in this game as the visitors Valerenga won three of their last seven away matches. Recent history of this match also goes to the favor of Valerenga team.

Valerenga’s Norwegian tactician Geir Bakke is not always succesful particularly when they travel. But when he makes it happen, the team records a convincing win. Their last three away victories all involved the collective effort of both attacking and defending line, scoring 5 and conceding none.

Also, their recent encounters involved the consistent recording of less than 2.5 goals. All these indicate a low-scoring match with Valerenga making it a series of three consecutive wins by beating Haugesund at Haugesund Stadion this Sunday. Moreover, Haugesund did not score in five of their previous six home matches and conceded 11 goals within that time frame. This confirms the likelihood of an away win by 2-0. Sorensen’s three-game goal-scoring run can be sustained in this game because Haugesund has the worst defensive line of this entire season.
