Target
Valerenga will look to better what they achieved last season, and gradually get closer and closer to the top three. But they are still worlds apart in terms of finances when competing again Molde and Rosenborg. Deila will need to motivate his side to make these difference appear as minimal as possible, because stature wise there aren't many bigger clubs in the division. If they can manage to be the leaders of the chasing pack and break into the top five this season, it would surely be a sign of further progress.
Prediction: 7th
