The Norwegian Eliteserien returns with a fresh set of fixtures as Stromsgodset and Valerenga lock horns at the Marienlyst Stadion on Sunday. Dag-Eilev Fagermo’s men have lost each of their five home games in the league and will be looking to stop the rot this weekend.
Stromsgodset were left empty-handed yet again as they fell to a 5-0 hammering at the hands of KFUM Oslo when the two sides squared off last Sunday.
Fagermo’s side have lost five games on the bounce, conceding 15 goals and scoring three since a 3-2 victory over Sarpsborg on April 27.
Stromsgodset have picked up just six points from their 10 Eliteserien matches so far to sit bottom but one in the standings, only above last-placed Haugesund with one point.
Like this weekend’s hosts, Valerenga continue to struggle for results in the bottom half of the table as they fell to a 3-2 defeat against Molde last time out.
Geir Bakke’s men have now failed to win five of their most recent six Eliteserien matches, losing four and claiming one draw since the start of May.
With 11 points from their 11 league matches, Valerenga are currently 12th in the standings, level on points with 13th-placed HamKam just above the dotted line.
