18:00 FK Gjovik-Lyn – Valerenga

Norway NM Cup, 2.round, 18:00h

Valerenga AH -2,5 goals

Gjovik/Lyn is weak 3. league side. They are after 3 rounds this season pointless, on last place with 1-7 goal difference. Even if they finished last season in middle of table, this year they will obviously fight fro staying in league. This match really isn't important for them and they know they can't do much here.

Valerenga started season very well, but last home match they were defeated by Aalesunds which was not expected. In first round of cup they beaten Lokomotiv Oslo 0:8 which is one league below Gjovik, but were unlike them in very good form. In this match vs Lokomotiv have chance some reserve players that will play today and grabbed it with great efficiensy. Moussa Nije scored hattrick, Omarrson scored once, Berge once, all players who play more for Valerenga II in 3. league.

I can't see Gjovik being much stronger than Lokomotiv so score won't be much better for them. Valerenga when playing against lower league sides in cup matches is beating them with high margins: 1:12, 0:3, 1:6, 1:8, 0:5, 0:8 when facing third or lower league sides. 3 goals difference here really isn't high.
