Valerenga welcome Aalesund in the Eliteserien. We've crunched the numbers. Here's our preview.
The lead strikers on both sides carry the narrative here. Valerenga will lean on whoever's hot in front of goal, while Aalesund travel with the same brief — find a way past a back four that's been organised more often than not this season.
Too close to call with any conviction. Valerenga edge it at 0% but a draw (0%) is just as likely. One to tread carefully with. Predicted scoreline: 1-1.
The bookmakers have priced this match fairly. Our model doesn't see a big edge in the match result market.
Aalesund are no pushovers away from home. W1 D0 L0 from 1 away trips, scoring 4.0 per game on the road. Valerenga (W8 D3 L3 at home) can't afford to take this lightly.
xG explained: Expected Goals measures chance quality. 1.5 xG = a side typically converts those chances into 1.5 goals. Outscoring xG = running hot, possible regression risk.
Valerenga create chances worth 1.3 a game (and give up chances worth 2.0), leaving them -0.7 a game on the balance. Aalesund create 0.8 (giving up 1.5) for a balance of -0.8. The chance quality on both sides is remarkably similar. There's nothing to split these two underneath.
This doesn't look like a high-scoring one. Valerenga average 1.6 goals per game and Aalesund manage 2.0. Combined that's just 3.6. We make it only 1% for three or more, so the lean is towards a lower-scoring game.
Aalesund are similarly well-balanced. 2.0 scored, 0.5 conceded per game. This has the makings of a tight, tactical game between two organised sides.
