An important duel in the bottom section of the Eliteserien, with both Viking and Odd experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic "six-pointer" with the home team placed 12th and the visitors in 11th place.
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!
