Valerenga
- Valerenga have won 1, drawn 2 and lost 2 of their last 5 games.
- The home team, who have won 4, drawn 1 and lost 5 of their 10 home games in the league this season, are the favorites here at around 1.78.
- Johannes Moesgaard, who took over as Valerenga manager on 13 May 2026, hasn't exactly rebuilt the team, but he has made enough changes to deserve our attention as his team enters this matchup.
- A 3-4 home defeat to Molde, a 2-2 draw away to Sarpsborg 08 and a 2-0 away defeat to Lillestrom has not been a good run of results for Moesgaard.
Fredrikstad
- Fredrikstad have lost only 1 of their last 5 matches and won 4.
- Fredrikstad are currently above Valerenga in the Eliteserien 2026 table, so are a higher-placed side.
- The stats show that FFK have won three, drawn one and lost six of their ten road matches in Eliteserien 2026, but they have scored 11 away goals and can look dangerous when they hit their stride in transition.
- Casper Roejkjaer, who took over as Fredrikstad boss on 20 May 2026, is more of a pragmatic coach, perhaps suited to a three-at-the-back system in which the wide players are more like wing-backs and the team is better in a block than when they are pressed to stay compact for long periods.
Head-to-Head
Fredrikstad have the better head-to-head record in the last five meetings with two wins, two draws and one loss .
