Valerenga and Lillestrom opened the new season in the first league of Norway in quite different ways. In the first round, Valerenga defeated one of the teams expected to fight for survival, Aalesund, 1-0. Aalesund is a team that has all 4 defeats in the first 4 rounds and has not scored a single goal, so Valerenga's victory is quite expected. But after that they tied 2 defeats in which they conceded 5 goals. First, they were defeated at home by Sarpsborg 2-0, and then by newcomer Brann 3-1. It can be said that Valerenga scored only one goal in the previous 3 rounds, because in the match with Brann, the home team scored an own goal. They play quite badly at the opening of the season and too easily allow dangerous chances to the opponents, while on the other hand they are not so dangerous in front of the opponent's goal. It is obvious that they have to change something urgently in order not to get themselves into trouble already at the start of the season, but the big question is whether they will be able to do that against Lillestrom. Unlike Valerenga, Lillestrom can very well be satisfied with the way they opened the season. After the defeat at the opening of the season against the Vikings, 3 victories followed, against very high-quality rivals, which only shows that they are ready for big things this season. In the last round of the league, they defeated last year's champion Molda with 2-1. After that, they played the semi-finals of the cup with Bodo, which has been considered the best team in Norway for years, and secured a 1-0 victory with a very safe game. Last season, they took 4th place in the table and missed qualification for the Conference League by only 3 points. They play very offensive football with a lot of ball possession and what characterizes their game the most are penetrations on the sidelines and very dangerous crosses. They have several very tall players who pose a great danger to the opponents after corners or free kicks and that is exactly how they have scored a large number of goals this season. The biggest threat to Valerenga's goal will be Akor Adams, who is equally dangerous when jumping as well as with the ball at his feet. Valerenga almost traditionally have big problems against Lillestrom and they have only 1 win in their last 7 games. I honestly think that Lillestrom is in much better shape than today's hosts and that they have a very good chance to win at least 1 point in this match.

瓦勒伦加和利勒斯特罗姆以截然不同的方式开启了挪威甲级联赛的新赛季。在第一轮比赛中，瓦勒伦加队以1比0击败了预计将为生存而战的球队之一奥勒松队。奥勒松是一支前4轮4负无一进球的球队，所以瓦伦加的胜利是意料之中的。但在那之后，他们平了两场比赛，丢了5个球。首先，他们在主场被萨尔普斯堡以2-0击败，然后又被新人布兰恩以3-1击败。可以说，瓦勒伦加在前3轮比赛中只进了1球，因为在与布兰恩的比赛中，主队打进了一个乌龙球。他们在赛季初踢得很糟糕，很容易给对手带来危险的机会，而另一方面，他们在对手的门前并没有那么危险。很明显，为了不让自己在赛季初就陷入麻烦，他们必须做出一些迫切的改变，但最大的问题是他们能否在对阵利莱斯特罗姆的比赛中做到这一点。与瓦勒伦加不同，利勒斯特罗姆对他们赛季开局的方式非常满意。在赛季初对维京人的失利之后，接下来的3场胜利，都是对非常高质量的对手，这只能说明他们已经为本赛季的大事做好了准备。在联赛的最后一轮中，他们以2比1击败了去年的冠军摩尔达队。之后，他们与多年来被认为是挪威最好的球队Bodo进行了半决赛，并以1比0的险胜。上赛季，他们在积分榜上排名第四，仅以3分的差距错失了进入东部联赛的资格。他们的足球非常具有攻击性，控球率很高，他们的比赛特点是边线突破和非常危险的传中。他们有几名非常高大的球员，他们在角球或任意球后对对手构成了巨大的威胁，这正是他们本赛季取得大量进球的原因。对瓦伦加的进球最大的威胁将是阿克尔·亚当斯，他在跳起和带球时同样危险。瓦勒伦加对利勒斯特罗姆的比赛通常都有很大的问题，他们在过去的7场比赛中只赢了1场。老实说，我认为利莱斯特罗姆的状态比今天的东道主要好得多，他们很有可能在这场比赛中至少赢得1分。
