Sarpsborg 08 2-2 Vålerenga result, stats and report

Sarpsborg 08 bossed the ball and the chances but had to settle for a point after Fredrikstad refused to buckle, with the game decided inside the first half hour.

Vålerenga put in a composed away performance to beat Lillestrøm 2-0 in the Norwegian Eliteserien, with Ruben Gabrielsen heading the visitors in front before Thomas Lehne Olsen wrapped it up deep into stoppage time.

Vålerenga have not kept a clean sheet in their last ten Eliteserien matches and conceded fifteen goals in their last five alone. Brann arrive with something to prove after back-to-back defeats, and the numbers suggest this will not be pretty.

Sarpsborg 08 have not won in five Eliteserien matches and face a Rosenborg side that has won four of their last five. Something has to give on Sunday.

Two teams who cannot stop conceding goals meet at KFUM on Monday evening. Something has to give, and the data suggests it might be both defences at once.

Aalesund host Sarpsborg 08 on Sunday with a defence that has shipped 26 goals in ten matches. Sarpsborg have not won in five but they have not lost much either.

Vålerenga have conceded sixteen goals in their last five Eliteserien matches and are yet to keep a clean sheet in that run. Fredrikstad arrive in Oslo having won four of their last five.

Sarpsborg 08 welcome KFUM to Sarpsborg on Friday evening in a Norwegian Eliteserien fixture that pits two sides in inconsistent form against each other. One win in five for the hosts tells its own story.
