I believe it is still too early in the season to bet anything serious, but the I might go for the following

Tromsø - Vålerenga (2.25)
Tromsø made a great effort against Lillestrøm last match (1-1) and could end up in the top 5 at the end of the season if they manage to keep their traditional fighting spirit. They've signed some interesting players in Knarvik (Sandefjord), Koppinen (Rosenborg) and Munoz (Sandefjord). VIF on the other hand was a disappointment against Ålesund, a less promising team than Tromsø. Not very convincing arguments, but I will put my money on Tromsø (6/10).

Aalesund - Brann (2.00)
Brann should in theory have no problems securing 3 points in this match. They are the best team, comparing player by player. Anyway, despite a very entertaining match against Fredrikstad (4-2), they demonstrated rather poor defence and they are not particular known to provide consistent performance. Anyway, they more than able to score goals and the Ålesund's forwards are way slower than Fredrikstad's dreaded Elyounoussi & co. (7/10)

HamKam - Viking 2.10
Ham-Kam has 7 players not fit for match, still an improvement from last match against Bodø-Glimt when they had 11(!) players not fit. In the majority of the press Ham-Kam was the team most likely to be relegated, while Viking was the team most likely to win the league. So, this should in theory be a walk in the park for the Vikings, but I'm not that confident in their current offensive ability, they didn't impress me against Strømsgodset (1-0). Anyway, still early in the season...but a small bet on Viking (6/10)

Game is about to start so no much time to write a proper preview.

Tromso - Valerenga.
4 units for me on U2,5 @1,98 (Stanleybet).

Find some value in such offer as history shows a large number of thight affairs between these sides.

Guests did struggle to find the net in the opening round; TIL very solid home side.

erh...

As I said, still to early in the season to place any serious money...

Tromsø - VIF 2-0
Ålesund - Brann 4-2 (Argh...)
Ham-Kam - Viking 3-2 (Another arghh...)

In sum, a bit rough start on the season for the favourites of the press.

Anyone else fancy Rosenborg today ??

Afternoon all, Stromsgodset IF vs. Rosenborg BK Looking at the over 2.5 goals in this game, still early in the season I know, but looking at the head to heads and previous scores, you cant help but think there will be goals in this game (well I do anyway). Currently trading at 1.79 on betfair. Good luck if you choose to follow me on this one! Head 2 head

Even though ex spurs striker steffan iversson is inj. for this game with the ivorian Koune and some other fella who scored last week from the bench up front, cant see anything other than away win.

Norway Tippeligaen
Soccer - Stromsgodset/Rosenborg - total Over 2½ (-143)
for the regulation time held on Apr 7 at 12:00pm [pending]

Second game of the season. Doesn't fit my system, but it's being hit with unders money, down from O 3 +110...also it's Stromgodset's first game on their new artificial pitch, which should help make the game competitive (otherwise you'd expect Rosenborg to hammer them)...

...and most of all, last year's numbers:

Stromgodset at home, 77% overs, 3.5 goals a game
Rosenborg away, 85% overs, 3.5 goals a game

[Toadface]

Stromsgodset IF vs. Rosenborg BK

Final score 3-2

Expected Rosenborg to win this one but still a nice little profit on the day from the overs.
Hope some of you followed me on this one!
