Valerenga – Sarpsborg 08

Valerenga hosts Sarpsborg 08 at the Intility Aren on July 01. The hosts are in a battle for a top-three placement while their rivals in this fixture have barely managed safety from relegation slots. Dag-Eilev Fagermo secured Europa League qualification for Valerenga last time around and top scorer Aron Donnum is out with a knee injury and Fagermo will need to find another source of goals.

With just two wins to their names, Sarpsborg’s form shows that they have a long season ahead of them. With just six goals to their name in eight Eliteserien outings, a lot has been left to be desired from them. It is more worrying that all the goals have come from four players.

The Bohemians enter this fixture as stark favourites. In addition to home advantage, they have the form on their side. Valerenga has won three of their last six fixtures, drawing twice and losing just once. They will fancy their chances and won this fixture last time around.
