Tromsø vs Vålerenga Previews, Form and Players to Watch

So far, Tromsø have had a season full of improvement. The Boys have climbed the Eliteserien table all the way up to seventh, just three points away from the UEFA Conference League Qualification spots. Although it is only early days, their season looks to be very promising. Furthermore, their form has been outstanding as of late. Jorgensen Vik’s men have won all of their last three matches in the league, helping them to pick up key points against tricky opposition. Tromsø’s most recent match against Sarpsborg 08 ended 1-0 to the Boys, after a 74th minute Ieltsin Camoes goal sealed the win for Tromsø.

Vålerenga are not doing quite as well. However, after only just being promoted to the Eliteserien last season, Enga are exceeding expectations in the top flight. After winning three matches out of the nine that they have played, Geir Bakke’s outfit sit in 10th position, five points clear of any relegation threat. Furthermore, Engas form seems to be picking up. They have collected a draw and a win in their last two matches, earning very important points on the road to safety. However, this fixture approaching will prove to be a huge test for Vålerenga, against a very tough team.
