2 years ago 371

Two side looking to climb away from the relegation zone will go head to head in Eliteserien as 13^th-placed Valerenga welcome 12^th-placed Odd to Intility Arena for their Matchday 11 fixture on Sunday night.

Both Valerenga and Odd have made poor starts to their 2022 Eliteserien campaigns, but it’s actually more-worse for Valerenga who finished seventh last season, than Odd who finished 13^th just a place above the relegation-playoff spot.

The two are separated by a point in the current table with Odd sitting on 12 points from 11 matches, while Valerenga sit on 11 points from 11 games and are just two points above the relegation zone.

Both sides haven’t been in good forms in the Eliteserien, with Valerenga failing to win any of their last six league games, while Odd have been inconsistent in their last five league matches alternating defeats and victories.

However, both head into the Sunday’s clash off confidence boosting wins in the NM Cup, with Valerenga claiming a 4-3 win over Brumunddal at away, while Odd dispatched Flekkeroy 2-3 in the extra time also at away.

They will now both be looking to build on the win as they seek to climb further away from the relegation zone. We are expecting a close encounter on Sunday with both sides fancying their chances.
