Valerenga are on a three-match winless streak in the Eliteserien. Enga are 10 points off of first-place Lillestroem heading into the midweek fixture.
Draws have been the most common result between these teams in recent meetings. Four of the last six games between these teams ended as draws.
Lillestroem won one of those six games, while Valerenga posted a victory. The Canaries are unbeaten in five straight matches versus Enga.
Lillestroem are at the top of the current Eliteserien form table. They took 16 points from their last 18 points available.
The last two matches played by the Canaries ended as wins. Lillestroem have scored 17 goals this season and conceded the league’s fewest with just five.
Valerenga took seven points from the last 18 points on offer in the division. They were outscored 11-8 across the last six games in the Eliteserien.
Valerenga have scored 10 goals in eight league matches this term. Enga have allowed 13 goals which is the third-most in the division.
Viðar Örn Kjartansson leads Enga in goals with four in eight appearances this season. The 32-year-old should start in attack unless a late fitness issue prevents him from participating.
Nigerian Akor Adams leads Lillestroem in goals with four. The 22-year-old joined the club in the winter transfer window and has made an immediate impact with the team. Adams moved to Lillestroem from Sogndal in Norway.
Lillestroem have no fresh injuries heading into the game on Wednesday at home. The Canaries have won all four matches played at home this season.
They have taken 12 points from 12 possible with eight goals scored. The Canaries have not conceded a goal at home.
Valerenga have already played five times on the road. Four of those five fixtures ended as losses. They have been outscored 11-6 this season away from home. Twice in five away games Valerenga have been held goalless.
Lillestroem should post another win in the Eliteserien with a victory over Enga. The Canaries should claim a win to nil with a final score of 2-0. The win could send Lillestroem to the top of the league table.
