Valerenga vs Sandefjord Predictions and Free Betting Tips from expert tipsters when they go head-to-head in the Norwegian Eliteserien on Saturday, 29 July 2023.
Valerenga are set to host Sandefjord at Intility Arena for their upcoming league fixture. Valerenga enter the contest following a streak of subpar performances. They sit 14th in the table after a 2-1 defeat to Odd in their previous league match.
Their opponents, Sandefjord, likewise come into the game with a string of poor results. They remain 15th in the standings following a 5-2 defeat to Bodo/Glimt last time out.
The last time these two clubs met was in September 2022. Valerenga managed to deliver a 4-0 win that day.
In the last eleven meetings between the two teams. Valerenga has won seven times, there has been one draw, and Sandefjord has won three times.
We are counting on Sandefjord to pull off a win here. Their last three matches have all shown an improvement in form, with two goals scored in each of the last two.
Valerenga, on the other hand, are struggling for form and showing no signs of improvement. They’ve also failed to win any of their last seven league matches. Six of those matches ended in defeats as well.
We expect goals in this match. In five of Valerenga’s last six matches, there have been more than 2.5 goals scored. Also, five of Sandefjord’s past six matches have ended with over 2.5 goals.
In addition, the last six h2h meetings between these two have had over 2.5 goals. By the looks of things, a high-scoring affair is expected this time out.
Neither of these two teams has had a solid defensive line in recent weeks. The hosts have failed to keep clean sheets in six of their past seven league matches. While the visitors also failed to keep a clean sheet in eight of their last nine league matches.
Thus, the chances are quite high for goals to come from either end of the pitch.
The bookies have Valerenga as the favourite, but backing them at 1.50 odds isn’t a good bet considering their poor form heading into the match. Meanwhile, Sandefjord has demonstrated a minor improvement in goal scoring form in their last two outings. Therefore, backing Sandefjord at +1.5 Asian Handicap is a smart option.
Also, Both teams have been seeing plenty of goals scored at either end of the pitch. The majority of the matches for both sides saw them scored in the first half of the game. Given all of the observations, the over 1.5 first half goals at 2.25 would be our top betting option here.
Furthermore, the both teams to score odds of 1.66 look very attractive. Given both clubs’ poor defensive performances and recent goal participation at both ends of the pitch.
