Viking form and stats

Viking have collected 19 points from their Eliteserien home games so far after 5-4-4. We have seen two home losses in a row now for Viking, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.

Viking drew their last game, 2-2 away at Jerv (placed 16th). Traore was able to secure the draw 2-2 in the game against Jerv after coming on as a substitute and scoring the final goal. In the starting lineup today? Midfielder Tripić was the best player on the team with a rating of 8.84 (out of ten) in that game. Tripić signed up for two assists and hit five key passes.

Preceding that match was the home game against Sarpsborg 08 that was lost 0-1.

Sports gamblers, take note: A review of the 19 latest league games reveals that 16 of them had at least one goal from each team.

Viking are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 19 goals in 13 games. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 2 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. 14 goals have been conceded.

Molde form and stats

The away performances of Molde have been very solid so far with 11 wins, 2 draws and 0 defeats in the Eliteserien. The question is whether this happy travelling can continue. In general it has been a productive period now for Molde as they haven't lost any of their last 22 games.

This match can not go any worse than the previous one, a Europa Conference League home defeat versus Djurgården with 2-3 on the scoreboard. Midfield player Kaasa was the top player of the team with a match rating of 8.3/10. Kaasa scored one goal, served one assist, hit two key passes, dribled past the opponent 2 of 2 times and had 19 successful passes (of 23 total).

That result followed a home victory 2-1 versus Rosenborg in the Eliteserien.

Observe that 9 of this club's 12 most recent league rounds have ended with three goals or more.

The schedule is very tough for Molde now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Europa Conference League game at Gent is waiting in only four days.

They concede less than a goal on average per away game (10 so far).

Head 2 Head

Viking have managed a streak of 4 consecutive games without losing (3-1-0) when playing Molde.

The dueling parties have fought previously this season: Molde - Viking 3-4.
