Vålerenga – Stjernen – Ice Hockey – EHL
Match start: Sunday 8 March at 17:00
Vålerenga to win 1st period (1.84)
Stake: 5/10 units

Three justifications for the game proposal

• Vålerenga has won the first period in 10 of 10 matches against Stjernen
• Vålerenga has repeatedly set a high tempo early in their matches
• In the previous quarter-finals, Vålerenga has had good control of the matches

10 out of 10 between each other

Vålerenga has set the tone early in the quarter-final series against Stjernen, and there are many indications that the same thing could happen again when the teams meet in the third game. The Oslo team has had a clear advantage in the opening games this season. In fact, Vålerenga has won the first period in all ten head-to-head matches against Stjernen this season, which shows a clear pattern in how the games develop from the start.

In the previous quarter-final, Vålerenga also had good control of the match. They controlled the tempo, created the most chances and ensured that they established pressure in the offensive zone that Stjernen struggled to handle at times. When Vålerenga first establish their high tempo and puck control early in the games, the Fredrikstad team has often been forced to spend energy on defense.

With the statistics on their side and the home field advantage behind them, it is therefore likely that Vålerenga will once again get the best start to the match, and once again go into the break with the lead after the first 20 minutes.
