Vaalerenga have been in fine form over the last few weeks. They sit just outside the top 12 and are one point off making it to the playoff rounds. A win here would take Nils Lexerod's side above their visitors.
Paris FC have struggled on their travels. Defensive frailty has been a cause for concern, with just two clean sheets kept in their last 10 games across competitions.
