4 years ago 842

Aalesund will welcome Valerenga to Color Line Stadion for their Eliteserien Matchday 10 action on Sunday night with kickoff at 21:00 EAT.

Aalesund have made an impressive start to their 2022 Eliteserien campaign with the side claiming four victories and three draws from their opening 10 matches to collect 15 points which have left them sitting fifth on the standings, six points outside the European spots.

A 2-2 draw against Haugesund in their previous top-flight encounter ended a two-match winning streak for Aalesund, and they will be looking to quickly bounce back as they seek to stay in touch with the top three spots.

Meanwhile Valerenga have made a terrible start to their 2022 Eliteserien campaign with the side suffering six defeats from their opening 10 matches, while claiming just three victories and one draw in the run. With 10 points they now sit in the bottom half of the table in 11^th spot, three places and two points above the relegation.

A 4-0 defeat to Rosenborg in the last league match made it the third defeat in the top-flight as they were previously coming off a 3-2 loss to Stroemsgodset and a 2-0 defeat to Lillestrom. They now need to end their disappointing run to end as they seek a win that would keep them from being dragged into an early relegation saga.
