Vålerenga - Tromsø predictions

Though Vålerenga definitely have a shot at winning this match, they’ll need to work for it. Tromsø are somewhat stronger, but the home-field advantage may be what the hosts need to shift the balance in their favour.

Tromsø are regarded as favourites, but that doesn’t mean they can relax. With an almost negligible difference in the perceived strength of these two teams, sub-standard play is a recipe for disaster.

Vålerenga’s defeat in the previous round was to be expected, frankly. They played as visitors against a considerably stronger team - Molde . They were already trailing behind during half-time, and things only went down from there on, resulting in a compelling 4:1 defeat.

Tromsø gave the fans at their home stadium quite a show in their previous game against Strømsgodset, snagging a decisive 3:1 victory. The victory itself was somewhat predictable, but the first-half lead and notable lead speaks volumes about their form.

Vålerenga’s recent performances have raised some questions about their defence. They conceded 7 goals throughout their latest three Eliteserien matches and betting on Over 4.5 seems like a reasonable option.

Looking over the visitors and their recent history, we noticed they’ve scored more than 5 goals in their previous 3 appearances. This signals a consistent ability to score in most matchups, which is good news for their supporters.

An exciting game is in store as both teams have their full rosters available due to no injuries or suspensions.

Betting on a Draw is likely to be your best option, though it’s a relatively risky wager. It offers decent value with the 3.45 odds, though, which can be found at top online bookmakers such as Pncl.
