Vålerenga
Vålerenga sit 7th in the table with 20 points from 14 games while Ham-Kam are 9th with 18 from the same amount .
Ham-Kam
Ham-Kam come into this one in poor form, with a 1-4 home defeat against Tromso IL, a 3-0 away defeat against FK Bodo Glimt and a 1-0 loss away against Sarpsborg 08, making up their results over their last three matches.
Recent record
- The record in the last 3 H2H encounters is: Valerenga IF Oslo (W0, D1, L2), Ham-Kam (W2, D1, L0).
- The H2H record of the recent head-to-head matchups is still in favour of the visitors.
Vålerenga
- Johannes Moesgaard's 3-4-3 is a fluid and balanced system which has given the hosts' width, structure in build-up, and a threat from their wing backs this season.
- Henrik Roervik Bjoerdal has been a live wire for his side in recent games, laying off four assists in the last five matches to help his side out.
Ham-Kam
Thomas Myhre's back-four setup is quite the contrast to that of Valerenga, it is a system which is compact, direct in transition and possesses a big aerial punch, with Mame Alassane Niang , scoring two of their three goals in their last five .
Odds & markets
The odds are fair, but the main choice here is to go for goals, Over 2.5 at 1.59 and Both Teams to Score - Yes at 1.63 makes sense in this market as it suggests an open game .
Short call
Vålerenga are the more likely victor on Friday, but the H2H record of the recent head-to-head matchups is still in favour of the visitors, making this anything but a stroll in the park for the hosts.
