What to expect
We expect about 1.9 goals from Aalesund and 1.9 from Valerenga, which is as level as our reading of a game gets. Put together, that is around 3.8 goals in the game, and a match we expect to open up at both ends.
Aalesund come into this on two straight draws. Valerenga come into this on two straight defeats. Recent results are only ever part of the story, but they are worth knowing before kick-off.
Our pick: Under 4.5 goals. This has the look of a cagey, low-scoring game — around 3.8 goals in total (xG 1.9-1.9), keeping it under more often than not (about 78%). Clear chances should be at a premium.
We put the chance of that landing at about 78 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.33, which works out at about 75 out of 100. The two sit close together, so this is a lean rather than a standout price.

One thing to watch
It only takes one early goal to change how both sides play, and a low total can unravel in a single quick spell.
