*Odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
Granted, Valerenga have 19 wins in their last 20 matches. Compared to the teams they have faced in that stretch, Arsenal are a tougher nut to crack.
However, it is important to note that the Gunners are coming off back-to-back losses and have no wins in their last three matches. Despite their recent shortcomings, Arsenal are the expected winners at 1/12 (1.08). Teams with these odds generally have a 92.3% probability of winning.

Player to watch: Karina Saevik
Karina Saevik scored in Valerenga's 3-0 victory over Lyn last weekend. She has been one of the top performers in the Norwegian top flight with 16 direct goal involvements in 22 league assignments. Saevik registered five goals and two assists in her last seven appearances across all competitions, so it will be interesting to see how she performs against Arsenal.
