Valerenga vs Sarpsborg 08 Prediction
Valerenga vs Sarpsborg 08 Prediction and Betting Tips for Sunday’s Eliteserien clash. The match brings two sides with very different runs of form but similar attacking tendencies. In this article, you’ll find Eliteserien Predictions from XpertStats tipsters, breaking down the numbers and what they might mean for bettors.
- Valerenga unbeaten in their last 3 home games, scoring consistently.
- Sarpsborg 08 struggling with no wins in their last 5 fixtures.
- Both sides averaging over 2.7 goals per match this season.
- High chance of BTTS based on recent stats from both teams.
Valerenga come into this one in slightly better shape, picking up 7 points from their last 5 matches. That’s not spectacular, but it’s steady progress. They’ve hit the net 8 times across those games, and crucially, they’ve been strong at home, unbeaten in 3 and scoring in each of their last 6 at their own ground. The goals keep flowing too three straight matches have seen 3 or more scored. Can they keep up that tempo against a leaky Sarpsborg defence? It feels likely.
The numbers back it up: Valerenga games average 3.38 goals, with 63% crossing the 2.5 mark. Both teams have scored in 75% of their fixtures this season, showing just how open their style can be. That’s both a blessing and a curse. They’re reliable in attack, but shaky at the back. That said, they’ll fancy themselves at home with the fans behind them, especially against a side in Sarpsborg that’s been on a tough run.
Sarpsborg 08, meanwhile, have struggled badly of late. Just 2 points from their last 5 matches, that’s 0.4 per game. Still, it hasn’t been all doom and gloom. They’ve scored 7 times in that stretch and have found the net in 4 straight matches. Their games have also been goal-heavy, with each of their last 4 seeing 3 or more. It’s a curious mix: lots of attacking promise, but a defence that too often buckles under pressure.
The bigger issue for Sarpsborg is their inability to turn goals into wins. No victories in 5, with 3 defeats, tells its own story. But here’s the catch: 71% of their league games this season have seen both teams score. When they play, you can almost bank on goals at both ends. With Valerenga also a BTTS magnet, this could shape up into one of those wild Eliteserien nights where neither keeper gets much peace. If you’re looking for excitement, this one’s hard to ignore. Expect goals, mistakes, and maybe a late twist or two. A true test for anyone following the Eliteserien Predictions closely.
Both teams to score looks like the standout market for Valerenga vs Sarpsborg 08. Valerenga’s matches average 3.38 goals, with 75% of their games seeing both sides on the scoresheet. At home, they’re consistent in attack, netting in each of their last 6 outings in front of their fans. Sarpsborg, on the other hand, may not be picking up wins, but they rarely draw blanks. They’ve scored in 4 straight games and 71% of their fixtures this season have ended with BTTS landing. Defensively, both sides are vulnerable. Valerenga concede an average of 1.63 goals per match, while Sarpsborg ship 1.22 on average. Add in the fact that both have seen 3+ goals in their recent fixtures, Valerenga in 3 straight, Sarpsborg in 4 straight and the case for goals at both ends is strong. Given the trends, BTTS feels like one of the safest plays for this match.
