Editor's Pick
Aalesund have been struggling against Vålerenga for a long time: no wins in 12 matches in a row, with the last six all lost. At home the picture is the same - six consecutive matches without a win against this opponent. The hosts' overall form is also letting them down: seven Eliteserien matches without a win, and defeats in 9 of their last 10 at home. Things usually fall apart after the break: in the second halves of 11 consecutive head-to-head matches, Aalesund have lost out to Vålerenga. The bet is a Vålerenga win. Predicted score - 1:2.
