Valerenga will be aiming to make amends for back-to-back defeats to Valerenga and Odd when they take on Sandefjord in the Eliteserien round 16. The Pride of Oslo have been underperforming in the first half of the season, but they will not have a better chance than this to return to winning ways. Defender Vegar Hedenstad serves a one-game ban, while midfielder Daniel Hakans has yet to overcome a knee injury.
Sandefjord, on the other hand, have been struggling at the back of late, with the team conceding nine goals in total in back-to-back losses to Lillestrom (2-4) and Bodo (2-5). Considering that Valerenga are desperate to move closer to the safe zone, home win should definitely be considered. Defender Ian Smeulers misses out through suspension, but there are no fresh injury worries in the away team ahead of the trip to Oslo.
