Start vs Valerenga Picks

In 7 matches played at home, the hosts have a victory, 4 draws, and two defeats and Valerenga has 2 successes, 2 draws, and two defeats, in the matches played on foreign soil so far.
Coincidentally, the defeats of the two teams were managed by the title champion Molde and Odd, another group with solid performances in the current season of Eliteserien.
The two teams have not met since 2018, but the previous direct matches have been extremely disputed, with many successes, which I suggest to you this time as well.

Our Prediction: Over 2.5 goals

Odds: 1.77
