Competition: Norway Eliteserien
Date: Sat 09.November
Match begins: 18:00 (UTC)
Venue: Haugesund Stadion (8754 seats)

This could be an interesting match as Haugesund have their presumed home advantage while Viking are ahead 10 points in the Eliteserien table.

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.

This stadium uses grass, unlike Viking's home stadium. The visitors last twelve games on grass have ended in 2 wins, 1 draw and 9 losses.

Haugesund are fighting like crazy to avoid relegation and desperately need points in this fixture. Viking are still fighting for top positions and their benefits.

Haugesund form and stats

3-6-4 (win-draw-lost) are the Eliteserien numbers at home for Haugesund so far this season.

Haugesund manager J. Grindhaug and his team return home after a 2-2 draw away versus Bodø / Glimt (placed 2nd) in the Eliteserien. In the game before, an away victory in the NM Cup match versus Odd with a 3-0 scoreline.

Trouble was brewing at the score 0-2 against Bodø / Glimt last time out, but a goal from V. Bergan completed a comeback to a draw result for Haugesund.

The Haugesund fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 17 in 13 matches. Haugesund have conceded 16 in these home matches.
