There's been ups and downs for these two teams so far this season, occupying positions near the middle of the Eliteserien table so far. Here's the Viking - Haugesund latest:
This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!
10-7-10 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for Haugesund when playing away games on artifical turf, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has grass). Their goal statistics from those 27 matches are 41-40 (scored/conceded).
Viking form and stats
When playing at home in the Eliteserien, Viking have managed 4 wins, 3 draws and suffered 3 defeats from 10 games.
The home supporters saw a 2-2 draw versus Strømsgodset in the Eliteserien last time out and are looking for a win here. A strong away win before that one, visiting Mjøndalen and winning 2-1.
Late drama in the game against Strømsgodset as Viking were trailing by a goal near the finishing line until Yann-Erik de Lanlay popped out and made it level in the 90th minute.
The home team are moderate favourites in this game. How does Viking handle that role? We have found eight games in our database similar to this one, based on the home odds. The stats for these games are three wins, four draws and one defeat.
The Viking manager B. Berntsen has got the team scoring with 23 from 10 home games in the league. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Viking defense is not exactly impregnable. 18 goals conceded from 10 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
Haugesund form and stats
There's been little loot from Haugesund's travels as they have only collected 8 points from 10 away games in the Eliteserien. Haugesund only have 2 wins to counter their 6 defeats and 2 draws. Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Haugesund's last three away games as they have all been lost.
The supporters enjoyed Haugesund's previous game versus Sarpsborg 08 (placed 9th), a Eliteserien 2-0 win played at home. Prior to that match, the Haugesund manager J. Grindhaug faced defeat when travelling to Start and losing 1-5.
We have checked recent matches where Haugesund have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those eight games were two victories, three draws and three defeats.
A quick return to home after this game, as Haugesund are hosting Aalesund in the Eliteserien only four days away.
The visitors have scored 8 goals from 10 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. Haugesund struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 18 goals conceded from these games. It's worth mentioning that 9 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
