April 16th features a match where Strømsgodset will host Aalesund at Marienlyst Stadion in a meeting of these two Eliteserien teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 6 degrees, making for an unpleasant day. Strømsgodset has not played yet this season, while in their last match, 13th placed Aalesund, recorded a 0-1 loss against Vålerenga. Daniel Hakans struck first for Vålerenga in the 79th minute on a feed from Henrik Bjørdal, and that single goal was all that was necessary as neither team could manage any more scoring In the end, Aalesund was frustrated by Vålerenga’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Vålerenga ended the match with the shutout victory. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having lost 1 of their last 10.
These two teams have not yet played each other this season. Last season Aalesund won the head to head battle with 2 wins.
Aalesund’s most prolific scorer has been Moses Ebiye. He has netted 3 goals over the last five matches. Strømsgodset is having problems scoring lately. Their top scorers, Marcus Mehnert and Therkelsen each only have 1 goal in their last five.
