Vålerenga - Fredrikstad predictions

By pricing a home win at around 2.18, the bookies made it clear that Vålerenga are the favourites. Overall, though, the difference between the teams is not big, and the match can end either way.

Fredrikstad is a team that doesn't shy away from a challenge and we anticipate them giving their all in this matchup.

The hosts are coming off of a very strong performance at Strømsgodset, which secured them an HT/FT away victory. Few were surprised by the victory itself, but the 0:2 score and their dominance throughout were above most expectations.

Fredrikstad played as the home team in the previous round Eliteserien, but the home-field advantage wasn’t enough to beat the 3.00 pre-match betting odds. Their opponents Tromsø took an early lead and carried it forward to a 0:1 victory.

With a defensive record like the one Vålerenga boasts, their fans may have a reason to worry. They conceded more than 5 goals in their previous 3 home games alone – the advantage of playing at Intility Arena seems lost on them.

Our confidence that Fredrikstad will manage to hold their composure in an away game is shaky. They have over 5 concessions on record in their latest 3 visiting games alone.

Before committing to any betting predictions, we’ll have to mention the harsh defeat Vålerenga suffered last season. Fredrikstad walked away with an impressive victory on that occasion which directly defies the $ODDS home win odds offered by top online bookmakers.

Fortunately, both teams will have a complete lineup this Saturday, with no players out due to injury or suspension.

An Over 2.5 Goals is a great bet if you like staying on the safe side. The betting value for this market is strong compared even to the 2, which makes this an easy betting prediction to make.
