With the nervous opening game out of the way it’s time for the second Eliteserien game of the season. Brann look forward to welcoming Viking in front of their home support.

The hosts Brann saw competitive action as recent as four days ago, playing in the Eliteserien. That game was an away game at Haugesund, so at least Brann are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!

Brann's stadium, Brann Stadion, has a grass surface. Viking have artifical turf on their own stadium. This might or might not make a difference, and to help evaluate that we give you the recent performance numbers for Viking when playing on grass; 4 wins, 1 draw and 7 losses from twelve matches. They have scored 16 goals in these games and conceded 23.

A late climax in the match against Haugesund as the winning goal came six minutes into overtime; scored by Daniel Alexander Pedersen.

The home team are moderate favourites in this game. How does Brann handle that role? We have found five games in our database similar to this one, based on the home odds. The stats for these games are two wins, two draws and one defeat.

Viking form and stats

Viking might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Bodø / Glimt proved too strong as Viking slumped to a 2-4 defeat in front of their own fans at SR-Bank Arena. Before that one, a nice away victory 1-0 at Haugesund.

A crazy, crazy match with lots of goals last time out for Viking, as mentioned above. 6 goals in that one, will this match be as much fun?

We have checked recent matches where Viking have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those six games were three victories, two draws and one defeat.

After this away game Viking return home for a Eliteserien game against Mjøndalen. That game is only three sleeps after this.

In total they scored 55 and conceded 42 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 4 - drew 4 and lost 7 with 23/27 goals scored/conceded.
