1.89

Vålerenga is in exceptional form and has not lost in 15 consecutive matches, but they have yet to secure the top position, so they are unlikely to ease up. The hosts hold a significant advantage in class over their opponents and are expected to claim three points easily today, as despite two recent victories, Ålesund has plenty of weaknesses.

We believe the visitors have no chance. Our prediction is Asian handicap (-1.5) on Vålerenga. This bet is offered at 1.89.
