Head-to-head statistics Skeid - Valerenga
Skeid Team Overview
Skeid changed manager over the summer, parting ways with Vilde Rislaa and appointing Steffen Landro. There has been no turnaround so far - after 19 matches, Skeid have 17 points. At home, though, the team can spring a surprise: on 5 September they beat second-placed Kjelsås 4-1. Eight days later, Landro's side came away with nothing from their away trip to Junkeren. Home matches at Skeid are rarely dull: five consecutive home games have produced more than four goals combined.

Valerenga Team Overview
Since 13 May, Vålerenga have been managed by Johannes Mосgård. He started brightly, winning four of his first six matches. Then form dipped, and towards the end of the transfer window the club also sold captain Henrik Bjørdal to Viking. The captain's armband passed to Gayus Zahid, and after the window closed Vålerenga signed free agents Håvard Nielsen and Elbasan Rashani. Nielsen came off the bench in the derby at Oroset, but couldn't save the team: Vålerenga wasted a number of chances and lost 0-2 to Lillestrøm. Mосgård's side have now conceded in 19 consecutive matches.

Match Result Prediction
Vålerenga are stronger than Skeid across all the key numbers. They are unbeaten in their last 10 matches and averaging 2.7 goals per game. Their goal difference in the season also favours them - seven against two. Skeid are inferior both in attack and defence: over the same 10 matches, they have been conceding an average of 2.2 goals per game. The bet is Vålerenga - Handicap -2.0.
The Risky Bet
There should be plenty of goals in this one. Over their last 10 matches, both teams have averaged more than four goals combined, while Vålerenga's average is close to 5.5. Six or more goals is a scenario for those willing to take a risk for a bigger return. The bet is Total Goals - Over 5.5.
⭐ Editor's Prediction
In head-to-head history, Vålerenga have failed to score more than three goals against Skeid in seven consecutive meetings. Away from home, they have stayed within that same limit in 23 of their last 25 matches. On Sunday, Vålerenga have a Fredrikstad fixture in the Eliteserien, so conserving energy matters more to them than running up the score. We expect the visitors to go through, but not to score more than three goals. The bet is Vålerenga Team Total - Under 3.5. Predicted score - 1:3.
