Start vs Vålerenga Prediction & Preview

Preview

The Obos-Ligaen returns this Saturday with a mouth-watering clash between Start and Vålerenga at Sparebanken Sør Arena. The 15th round of the Norwegian second tier promises to be an intriguing encounter, with the home side seeking to cause an upset against the league leaders.

Start, currently sitting 14th in the table with 13 points, will be looking to build on their recent form, which has seen them take 7 points from their last 5 games. Coach Azar Karadas' men have won 2 and lost 2 of their last 5 matches, with a draw thrown into the mix. Their last outing ended in defeat, as they fell 2-1 to Raufoss away at NAMMO stadion.

Vålerenga, on the other hand, are flying high atop the Obos-Ligaen table with 27 points. Geir Bakke's side has been virtually unstoppable, winning 4 and drawing 1 of their last 5 matches. Their last game was a resounding 8-0 thrashing of Sandnes Ulf at Intility Arena.

The head-to-head record between the two teams does not make for pleasant reading for Start fans, with Vålerenga having won 4 of their last 5 meetings, including a 4-0 drubbing when they last met on December 22, 2020. However, Start will take heart from their average of 2.33 goals scored per game at home, hoping to exploit Vålerenga's slightly leaky defense that concedes an average of 1 goal per game away from home.

Bet

Considering the performance and stats, it's hard to look past Vålerenga's dominance in this fixture. The odds of 1.65 for an away win seem reasonable, especially given their impressive form and Start's struggles against them in recent meetings. With Vålerenga scoring an average of 4 goals per game and Start conceding an average of 2.67 at home, the likelihood of a high-scoring encounter is also high.

Recommended bet: Away Win (Vålerenga) @ 1.65
