Kristiansund vs Valerenga Match Preview

Despite opening the score 1-0 in the first half, the final result found Christiansund defeated by 2-1 to the league leaders, Bodo Glimt, on the oad. This was their second defeat on the row, while, at the same time, they remain winless after four consecutive games (0-2-2), having dropped at the 9th place of the standings.

First choice goalkeeper S. McDermott remains unavailable since the beginning of the season, actually, he is not expected to return in the next 6-8 weeks. Defender D. Ulvestad, who got injured in the previous round, is also not available tonight. 

They may have not impressed, but Valerenga got what they wanted against Haugesund, prevailing by 1-0. The only goal of the match was scored by B. Stokke 8 minutes before the end of the game, giving all three points to D. Fagermo's team. After this outcome, they remain undefeated for 5 consecutive games (3-2-0), keeping the 3rd place of the standings.

Goalkeeper K. Klaesson will return today after having served his suspension, on the contrary, defender J. Nation remains doubtful, actually, he didn't also competed in the match against Haugesund.

I expect a great match today, but I can not agree with the offered odds, that present the home team as the favorites here (2.10-3.40). Valerenga to win is my call, as they are clearly in better shape in the last matches.
