In this week 4 match, on Monday May 1st, Vålerenga plays host to Lillestrøm 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, which will make playing unpleasant. In their last match, 12th placed Vålerenga, recorded a 1-3 loss against Brann. Frederik Borsting struck first for Brann in the 6th minute, then Japhet Sery tied it up for Vålerenga on an own goal in the 15th minute. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having lost 2 of their last 10, while in their last match, Lillestrøm recorded a 2-1 win against Molde. Kristoffer Tønnessen struck first for Lillestrøm in the 5th minute, then Emil Breivik tied it up for Molde in the 35th minute on a feed from Martin Linnes. Lillestrøm is looking for direction having earned 13 points in their last 10 matches.
This will be the first match for these two teams against eachother this season. Last season these teams were evenly matched with 1 win apiece.
Akor Adams has been the most prolific scorer on Lillestrøm in his last five matches with three goals. and Petter Strand are the top scorers for Vålerenga in the last 5 matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats.
