Form Guide
Start
LLDLL
Start, from the Vest-Agder coast, come into this encounter with a rather disappointing run of form that's seen them navigate their past five encounters without a winning result. At Sør Arena, a modern ground on Kristiansand's outskirts, they carry genuine home advantage and the backing of the southernmost Norwegian football community. Their successive losses heading into Monday's fixture gives them limited confidence against a Vålerenga side in improving form.
Valerenga
LLDLW
Vålerenga, the Oslo eastern district club, arrive this fixture having managed to put an end to a four-game winless streak in the Eliteserien. They managed to secure a hard-fought victory over Sarpsborg 08 by a narrow 3-2 margin at home. Away at Kristiansand, a lengthy drive south from the capital, they carry the momentum of a squad that has been one of the Eliteserien's better second-half performers. Their collective quality and the confidence of a winning run gives them genuine away credentials.
Prediction
This fixture shapes up to be a keenly contested encounter. To that effect, expect at least two goal returns.
