Gameweek 5 Preview

A look at gameweek 5 in Eliteserien this coming Wednesday and Thursday.

Wednesday 1st July


Aalesund v Mjøndalen (Score Draw)

Differing styles in this one. Aalesund like to attack, Mjøndalen keep it tight. Aalesund should have won at the weekend, and it was Sigurd Haugen that was a huge goal threat. Mjøndalen lost a couple goals, but that is the first time this season.
I fear Mjøndalen could hit Aalesund on the break in this one, Ibrahim is in goalscoring form, so look out for him again.
Aalesund have scored in every game so far, Mjøndalen have scored once in 3 games, goalless in the other, but I think this game could suit them.
With Castro dropping deep for Aalesund, look out for an Aasmundsen yellow card as well for Mjøndalen.

Bet Builder: Both teams to score, Aasmundsen to be carded, Ibrahim anytime.

Most likely scorers in my opinion: Haugen for Aalesund and Ibrahim for Mjøndalen

Haugesund v Start (Home Win)

Off the back of a first win, Haugesund will fancy their chances against Start who have yet to win and just lost 5-0. Likely changes from that game include the goalkeeper, but Start rotated last midweek a little too.
Niklas Sandberg has started the season well, he is a goal candidate for Haugesund, but Start conceed goals from set pieces quite often, so an outside bet could be Benjamin Tiedemann Hansen for a goal.
Start were awful on Saturday, they can't be that bad again. Bringaker is their biggest threat in a game that I fancy some goals and corners.

Bet Builder: Over 2.5 goals, Over 9.5 corners, Sandberg anytime to score. 

Most likely scorers: Sandberg for Haugesund and Bringaker for Start.

Odd v Bodø/Glimt (Away Win)

The big news before this one is that Torgeir Børven won't be playing, he is joining Rosenborg today it has been agreed, with his contract up next month.
Glimt and Odd are both in scoring form, 25 goals between them in their 4 games so far. So, goals is on the cards again. JP Hauge on paddypower has 3/1 odds to score anytime, that's far too high the form he is in. 
It should be a pretty attacking game, both teams hit a lot of crosses so should see corners I would hope. Glimt got to be favourites with Børven not playing. Although Odd have signed Mushaga Bakenga to replace him, he isn't as good or prolific.

Bet Builder: Over 2.5 goals, over 10.5 corners, Birk Risa to be booked, goal in both halves

Most likely to score: Tobias Lauritsen for Odd, Kasper Junker for Glimt.

Stabæk v Strømsgodset (Home Win)

Well beaten by Molde, but Stabæk showed glimpses in attack, Vetlesen looks a really good player and goal threat this year. Godset aren't playing well, they were lucky against Aalesund, and 3 of their last 4 goals have been penalties from Maigaard.
I fancy Stabæk strongly here, and they are around evens to win. I think they will score more than 1 goal as well. Kassi might be injured, but I actually thought Kinoshita looked sharp when he came on the other night, he is still looking for a goal, it could be this week.

Bet Builder: Stabæk to win and to score 2 or more goals, Gunnarsson to be carded for Godset, Vetlesen to score.

Most likely to score: Vetlesen for Stabæk and Maigaard for Godset from a penalty.

Viking v Sandefjord (Home Win)

Viking yet to win, Sandefjord probably the best chance to do it. Sandefjord have only scored once from open play so far, a counter against an Odd side who were chasing an equaliser.
Viking were a little better against Vålerenga, still lost the game though. 
It was two set pieces than undone them, Sandefjord can play on that, so I do think both teams will score, although for Sandefjord it could be a defender up for a set piece, maybe Grorud. 
Viking attack with a lot of cross balls, and have more corners than any other team.

Bet Builder: Viking over 5.5 corners, Both teams to score, Palsson to be carded

Rosenborg v Vålerenga (Home Win)

Børven is available for Rosenborg against Vålerenga. He scored a hattrick against them last Wednesday. Can he do it again?
Rosenborg love corners, and played better against Brann, but they don't dominate midfield at all. Helland to Børven could be a nice link up. Expect that to create goals this season.
Vålerenga won against Viking, but they weren't particularly convincing. Dønnum is lively and RBK leave gaps in that left back area, he could be a threat here.
Can RBK create chances for Børven is the big question.

Bet Builder: Corners over 10.5, both teams to score, Børven anytime

Most likely scorers: Børven for RBK and Vilhjalmsson for Vålerenga. 

Thursday 2nd July


Kristiansund v Molde (Away Win)

Kristiansund are the latest to try and stop Molde, and they should have Pellegrino back fit. Leke James doesn't quite look 100% fit, but his link play was excellent on Sunday, and him and Omoijuanfo are due to play together.
Goals are to be expected here, two attacking teams who both haven't really kept it tight at the back. Kristiansund have played away 3 times, so they will be happy to be home.
This could be Molde's biggest test yet.

Bet Builder: Both teams to score, over 2.5 goals, goal in both halves

Most likely scorers: Pellegrino for Kristiansund, Omoijuanfo for Molde.

Sarpsborg v Brann (Away Win)

Pointless Sarpsborg have scored only 3 goals so far, conceding 7. But they have been creating chances, just not been clinical enough. 
Brann are good on the road with their counter threat. Taylor, Koomson and Bamba all have the pace to get in behind. Bamba was unhappy to be subbed after an hour on Sunday, he will want to score on Thursday, and I think he will with his pace in behind.
Abdellaoue was rested at the weekend, he scored two last midweek, and Sarpsborg have been slowly improving, so this game should see some goals as well.

Bet Builder: Both teams to score, Bamba anytime, Acosta to be carded.

Most Likely Scorers: Abdellaoue for Sarpsborg, Bamba for Brann


NAP : Bodø/Glimt to score 2 or more goals
