Viking form and stats

The visitors are W4-D3-L5 on the road this term. That's in the Eliteserien.

Viljar Helland Vevatne, Yann-Erik de Lanlay and Veton Berisha scored in Viking's previous match, the home game against Rosenborg that ended 3-0. Preceding that game, the 0-3 loss visiting Odd's place.

Viking delivered their win in the match against Rosenborg already in the first half, and could slow the play down in the final 45 minutes to ensure the glorious victory. A solid performance! A victory against Rosenborg as mentioned above, but the margin of victory could have been bigger as Viking hit the posts three times.

Viking find the net regularly in their away games. 16 goals from 12 away fixtures in the league. The Viking manager B. Berntsen has some worries about the defense as 24 goals have been conceded in these travels.
