Odd form and stats
5 victories, 3 draws and 3 defeats. That’s what Odd have to build on here at Skagerak Arena in the Eliteserien.

Ruud scored one goal, hit two key passes, dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 32 successful passes (of 40 total).
Prior to that, an away loss at Molde.Scoring bonanza? Nobody knows what will happen in this one, but we do know that 9 of the 11 most recent league matches with this side has contained three goals or more.
The Odd fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 14 in 11 matches.
Viking form and stats

That loss ended this team's string of league fixtures in a row without losing; 13 games in all! Viking lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 0-4 beating and focus on this one. The attacker Tripić got a match rating of 7.41 in that game. Tripić hit two key passes and had 39 successful passes (of 47 total).
Before that, Viking secured a home win against Sandefjord with the score 4-3.The travelling fans enjoy Viking's attacking play in away games, having scored 17 goals in 11 league matches away. Viking have conceded 15 goals in these away matches.
