This match features two teams living in the basement of the Eliteserien, Aalesund holding 16th place and Viking lying 13th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
Aalesund form and stats
Aalesund's results here at Color Line Stadion in the Eliteserien have been very modest with 1 victory, 1 draw and 4 defeats.
Aalesund are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-4 away versus Sarpsborg 08. Ahead of that match, Aalesund won a home game hosting Start (3-2).
Aalesund were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one.
The Aalesund fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 9 goals in 6 league matches. Aalesund's defense is seriously deficient as 20 goals have been conceded in these matches.
Viking form and stats
Viking have only collected 4 points from their away games in the Eliteserien, after 1-1-4 (6 played).
The manager B. Berntsen was unhappy after their last game, a Eliteserien match played at their home ground SR-Bank Arena. Viking suffered a 1-2 loss to Kristiansund (placed 5th). Preceding that game, the 0-3 loss visiting Rosenborg's place.
The attacking power of Viking when travelling is not overwhelming with 4 goals scored from 6 league matches away. The Viking manager B. Berntsen has some worries about the defense as 14 goals have been conceded in these travels.
Head 2 Head
As for the last ten games between these two teams, there's three Aalesund victories, three draws and four Viking wins. Over/under statistics; seven of these games ended with three goals or more, three matches with two goals or less.Top Goalscorers
