Valerenga – Kristiansund BK

Valerenga secured a convincing 3‑1 win at home over Kristiansund BK, extending their lead in the table to third place with 22 points from 20 matches. The victory lifts the Oslo side’s goal tally to 33 while keeping their defence relatively tight at 42 conceded, a modest improvement on Kristiansund’s 20‑37 record. Kristiansund, now 14th with 19 points, will have to regroup after their second defeat of the season, having failed to claim any points in their head‑to‑head meetings with Valerenga so far. The three‑point swing not only widens the gap between the two clubs but also leaves Valerenga with a clear edge in their upcoming clash, having already won the sole encounter this campaign.
