Vålerenga II Make Intility a Fortress with Three Straight Home Wins
Vålerenga II have won all three of their home matches on Intility Arena's new artificial surface this autumn, defeating both Konnerud and Gamle Oslo 2–1 in their most recent outings. The reserve side now look ahead to hosting Bærum on 26 September as they bid to keep the run going.
Three Wins from Three on the New Surface
Vålerenga II have turned Intility Arena into a genuine fortress this autumn, racking up three consecutive home victories on the club's brand-new artificial surface. Following wins over Konnerud (2–1 on 5 September) and Gamle Oslo (2–1 on 12 September), the reserve side have established themselves as a formidable home proposition going into the final weeks of their campaign.
All three victories were won by the same scoreline, and all three were decided in the second half after tight first-half showings — a trademark of a side that knows how to dig in and find a way.
Intility Arena Proving Its Worth
The new artificial pitch installed at Intility Arena ahead of the autumn run has drawn praise for its playing quality. Designed to withstand the Norwegian autumn weather and keep fixtures on schedule, the surface has now hosted multiple levels of football across the women's Toppserien and the men's reserve league — all without disruption.
With a capacity of 16,556, the stadium is of course best known for Eliteserien nights, but the reserve and women's sides have been making the most of their time on one of Norway's finest surfaces.
Bærum Visit Next on the Agenda
Vålerenga II's next home assignment comes on Saturday, 26 September, when they welcome Bærum to Intility Arena for a 14:00 kick-off. On current form, home advantage will count for plenty — and supporters are encouraged to come out and back the squad as they look to extend their unbeaten home run.
