Vålerenga 1-1 Fredrikstad result, stats and report

Sebastian Jarl's 76th-minute left-foot finish earned Vålerenga a share of the spoils, but a fifth match without a win tells you everything you need to know about where this club is right now.

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.

Fredrikstad controlled the majority of this Eliteserien clash but could not hold their lead, as Bodø / Glimt showed exactly why they are the team to beat with a cool second-half equaliser from Bryan Fiabema.

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.

Viking have been putting teams to the sword at home, but Fredrikstad arrive in Stavanger having lost just once in their last five. Something has to give.

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.

Fredrikstad arrive at this fixture on the back of four wins from their last five in the Eliteserien, with a defence that has kept things tight. Tromsø bring goals and inconsistency in equal measure.
