It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Sandefjord and Viking.

Sandefjord's stadium, Komplett Arena, 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; 5 wins, 2 draws and 5 losses from twelve matches. They have scored 17 goals in these games and conceded 18.

Relegation threatens Sandefjord who should definitely be looking for some points here. Viking are still fighting for the big positions at the top of the table.
