Haugesund are welcoming Viking for another important game after their 0-1 result against 3rd-placed Vålerenga.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
4-1-8 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for Viking when playing away games on grass, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has artifical turf). Their goal statistics from those 13 matches are 16-26 (scored/conceded).
Haugesund form and stats
Haugesund have played 4 Eliteserien games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 1-1-2 (wins-draws-losses).
Times are rough for the home team, having gone 270 minutes without scoring a league goal. J. Daland (own goal) was the last player to find the net.
Haugesund lost their last game at Vålerenga (placed 3rd) after a 0-1 scoreline. Ahead of that match, Haugesund lost 0-3 at home to Molde.
The home team are moderate favourites in this game. How does Haugesund handle that role? We have found four games in our database similar to this one, based on the home odds. The stats for these games are one win, two draws and one defeat.
Haugesund are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 4 goals in 4 games. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Haugesund defense is not exactly impregnable. 7 goals conceded from 4 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
Viking form and stats
Playing away, Viking have won 0 games, drawn 1 and suffered 3 defeats in the Eliteserien this season.
Viking lost away at Molde (0-5) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. A 1-2 loss hosting Odd before that.
Viking lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 0-5 beating and focus on this one.
We have checked recent matches where Viking have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those eight games were three victories, two draws and three defeats.
There's been a serious shortage of goals from Viking's away games in the league this season with only 2 goals from 4 matches. Viking are struggling defensively in their away games, having conceded 2 goals in these matches.
Head 2 Head
Head-to-head totals (for the last ten meetings): Haugesund won three games, four matches ended with a draw and Viking has three wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: five / fiveTop Goalscorers
