Valerenga hosts Sarpsborg 08 in round 10 of the Norwegian Eliteserien. The match will be played on Thursday, July 1st at Intility Arena (Oslo)
Valerenga periodically shines. For example, a little over 10 years ago the Pride of Oslo was one of the flagships of Norwegian football. But after the 2nd place in 2010, the team went into supporting roles and didn’t rise to the top five of the Eliteserien for a long time. Against this background, the 3rd place in 2020 was a full-fledged breakthrough, but that championship was suspended. Now Valerenga is showing quite average results. In the last round, it defeated Stabaek away (0-2). And it was the 4th victory in 10 matches. The Pride of Oslo earned 16 points in total. But before that, there were a defeat and two draws in June. Perhaps now they will finally manage to regain their good shape?

Sarpsborg 08 made many people know about themselves a couple of years ago. The 2017 season was successful for the White-Blues, with a record 3rd place and advancing to the cup final. And most importantly, they managed to go through four qualifying rounds in the Europa League draw (including St. Gallen, Rijeka, and Maccabi Tel Aviv) and played in its group round. But now, if Sarpsborg is fighting for something, it is for the opportunity not to be eliminated from the Eliteserien. Both last draws brought only 12th place. In the current championship, the White-Blues have already managed to earn nine points in eight matches. In the round before last, Sarpsborg even surprised with an away victory over Rosenborg. However, on June 25, the club lost to Viking at home, even though Kone opened the scoring, which was kept until the break. But in the 2nd half, the visitors managed to score twice and gained a comeback victory.
Until 2019, Sarpsborg had a pleasant streak of seven unbeaten head-to-head matches. But in the last championship, Valerenga finally learned how to resist this opponent: it won away in June and played 1-1 at home. Now Valerenga is in 3rd place and will host Sarpsborg at its native stadium. We bet on the hosts to win with a -1 handicap.
Prediction for the match: Valerenga to win with -1.0 handicap
