In this week 13 match, on Sun Jul 10th, Kristiansund and Vålerenga will play a match in Oslo in a meeting of these two evenly matched Eliteserien teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 18 degrees, which will be a great treat for players. In their last match, 14th placed Vålerenga, recorded a 0-1 loss against Odd. Tobias Lauritsen struck first for Odd in the 60th minute, and with that single goal the scoring was complete. Neither team could manage anything else In the end, Vålerenga was frustrated by Odd’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Odd ended the match with the shutout victory. Vålerenga looks to improve on their recent performance, having lost 6 of their last 10, while kristiansund is fresh off their 1-3 loss against Lillestrøm. Bendik Bye scored the first goal for Kristiansund in the 20th minute on a penalty shot, then in the 71st minute, Tom Pettersson sent in a beautiful pass which was converted by Akor Adams But fortunately they were able to complete the comaback in the 84th minute on a goal by Akor Adams. Kristiansund looks to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 1 points in their last 10 matches.
These two teams have not yet played each other this season, so it will be interesting how the match turns out. Last season Kristiansund won the head to head battle with 2 wins.
Bendik Bye has been the most effective weapon for Kristiansund lately. The Norwegian attacker has netted two goals in his last five matches. Aron Dønnum and Viðar Örn Kjartansson are the top scorers for Vålerenga in the last five matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal.
