Viking are flying at 3rd, while Rosenborg are lingering 4 points behind in the table. Will they decrease the gap?
- Viking have the most dropped points from leading position (10) in Eliteserien
- Rosenborg have the fewest conceded goals in the second half (4) in Eliteserien
This pitch has artifical turf, unlike Rosenborg's home arena. The former 29 games by the visitors on artifical turf have ended with 10 wins, 9 draws and 10 losses.
Rosenborg have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1000 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a NM Cup game only three days ago. That game, against Sandnes Ulf, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Rosenborg.
Viking form and stats
Viking have performed here at SR-Bank Arena this season with 4 wins from 7 Eliteserien matches. Some points have been lost, as they have drawn 2 games and lost 1.
In their previous game, the manager Jensen led his Viking to a defeat away at Haugesund. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at SR-Bank Arena. A goal frenzy last time out for Viking, with a total of 6 goals in the match against Haugesund. Fun stuff to watch! Brekalo was "man of the match" with a rating of 6.91 out of 10. The defender Brekalo won 5 of 8 duels.
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Viking have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 9 games) they have won 5 times, drawn 2 and lost 2.
Goals from both teams! That has occurred in 5 league matches in a row for this team. Will it happen again?
