How to watch and follow Man Utd Women v Valerenga | Champions League
GET TO KNOW VALERENGA
The Oslo-based outfit have lifted the Toppserien title in each of the last two seasons and are currently engaged in a titanic tussle with Brann, as they seek to clinch a third success in a row.
Four points separate the sides and, with five games to play, second-placed Valerenga will have one eye on Sunday’s top-of-the-table fixture.
The capital club will, no doubt, fancy their chances of closing the gap too, after they ended Brann’s long unbeaten domestic run in September’s Norwegian Cup semi-finals.
Valerenga overcame HJK Helsinki, Slavia Prague and Ferencvaros to reach this stage, scoring 10 goals and conceding just one.
Their key player Olaug Tvedten has 27 goal involvements in the Toppserien, although she is yet to score in the Champions League, while 37-year-old Elise Thorsnes arrives in Leigh with a spring in her step, having scored a hat-trick in Friday’s 4-1 victory over Bodo/Glimt.
