Haugesund welcome Viking for another interesting Eliteserien fixture here at Haugesund Stadion.
- Haugesund have the fewest scored goals (0) in Eliteserien
It's no vacation for neither Haugesund nor Viking as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
6-3-6 (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 15 matches are 22-26 (scored/conceded).
Haugesund form and stats
The first Eliteserien game here at Haugesund Stadion resulted in a draw. Last season Haugesund's home game statistics were 6 victories, 3 draws and 6 defeats from 15 games.
Times are rough for the home team, having gone 270 minutes without scoring a league goal. I. Wadji was the last player to find the net.
Haugesund are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-2 away versus Bodø / Glimt. Midfield player Peter Therkildsen got a match rating of 8.03 in that game, the max score being 10. Therkildsen hit one key pass and dribled passed the opponent 2 of 2 times.
In the match before that, Haugesund hosted Stabæk and drew the game 0-0.This is expected to be a close game, with Haugesund perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Haugesund as a small favourite), we find ten games. Haugesund has won two of these, drawn three and lost five.
Early season league goal statistics from Haugesund's 1 home game: 0 goals, 0 conceded.
Viking form and stats
Viking are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the Eliteserien, having played 2 games and collected 3 points (1 win, 0 draws and 1 loss).
Viking go into this game after a win, the home game against Mjøndalen that ended 2-1. Joe Bell got a match rating of 7.55 in that game, top player of the team. Bell hit two key passes, dribled passed the opponent 4 of 4 times and had 48 successful passes (of 60 total).
Ahead of that match was the victory versus Lillestrøm at their stadium, the result 3-1.So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Viking playing away and similar expectations, we found four relevant matches. Results were two Viking wins, two draws and zero defeats.
Viking have the goal stats of 3-6 (for/against) from 2 business trips in the league at this early stage of the season.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: three wins for Haugesund, three draws and four wins for Viking. Over 2,5 goals: three times; under 2,5 goals: seven games.Top Goalscorers
