The Viking & Brann bosses Jensen and Horneland are both fearing and looking forward to this crucial fixture in the top regions of the Eliteserien league table.
- Viking have the most points from losing position (11) in Eliteserien
- All of Brann's away-matches have had more than 1,5 goals.
16 - 6 - 7 with 83-35. What does this mean? Well, these are the statistics for Brann when playing on artifical turf like they will do today. Wins - draws- losses and goals scored-conceded. Brann play their home games on grass so that's why we provide these numbers.
Both teams have had enough days rest since their last exertion in an official match. Let's hope for an animated fixture!
Viking form and stats
Viking have collected 10 points from their Eliteserien home games so far after 3-1-1.
Viking enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Sarpsborg 08's place. The match ended 3-1 with Brekalo, Svendsen and Tangen scoring. Brekalo was "man of the match" with a rating of 7.82 out of 10. The defender Brekalo scored one goal and won 8 of 11 duels.
Before that one, a fine away win at Fredrikstad. A NM Cup match.
Sports bettors should know that 8 of the most recent 10 league matches from these players have had goals from both sides.
There will be little rest for Viking after this match as they are travelling to Raufoss for a NM Cup game in only four days.
Viking always seem capable of creating a buzz here at SR-Bank Arena with 16 goals in 5 league games.
Brann form and stats
As the visiting team in Eliteserien matches, Brann have produced an overall stat of 2-1-2 so far.
Brann delivered a 2-2 draw playing at home against Lillestrøm (placed 5th) in their previous game. Attacker Castro got a player rating of 8.0 in the game. "Man of the match" Castro scored one goal, hit two key passes and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.
Before that game, 3-3 away against Aalesund (after extra-time, 5-6 on penalties) in the NM Cup.
Goals galore? This side have played 5 consecutive league fixtures all ending with at least three goals (over 2.5 goals).
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Brann manager Horneland as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Brattvåg.
Brann are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 8 times in 5 away games so far. As opposed to that, Brann have seen the ball go into their own net 7 times on the road.
