This could be an interesting match as Viking have their presumed home advantage while Odd are ahead 11 points in the Eliteserien table.

Viking form and stats

Viking have played 10 Eliteserien games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 5-3-2 (wins-draws-losses).

The home team returns to SR-Bank Arena after sharing the points with Sarpsborg 08 (placed 15th) on their last time out; the Eliteserien game ended 2-2. The points were shared before that, a home game that ended 2-2 versus Ranheim.

This is expected to be a close game, with Viking perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Viking as a small favourite), we find three games. Viking has won 0 of these, drawn 2 and lost 1.

Viking have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at SR-Bank Arena with 19 goals in 10 league matches. 11 goals have been conceded.

Odd form and stats

There's been little loot from Odd's travels as they have only collected 9 points from 9 away games in the Eliteserien. Odd only have 2 wins to counter their 4 defeats and 3 draws. Two points from the last two away games for Odd, which the math geniuses among you will translate to two draws.

Odd are travelling after their nice 3-1 home win in the Eliteserien against Bodø / Glimt (placed 2nd). A 2-2 draw at Molde's stadium before that.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Odd playing away and similar expectations, we found seven relevant matches. Results were 1 Odd win, 2 draws and 4 defeats.

Odd have scored 9 goals on their travels this season, from 9 away games in the league. Odd have conceded 13 goals in these away matches.

Head 2 Head

This is the result when the teams met earlier this season; Odd - Viking 1-0. As for the last ten games between these two teams, there's 2 Viking victories, 4 draws and 4 Odd wins. 3 of these games ended with three goals or more, 7 matches with two goals or less.
