Competition: Sun 16.May
Match begins: 13:00 (UTC)
Venue: SR-Bank Arena (16300 seats)

It's early days in the Eliteserien and both Viking and Tromsø are still hoping for a flying start in order to set the tone for the season. Three points can make a big difference at this stage.

It's no vacation for neither Viking nor Tromsø as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

It's time to recharge all electronic entertainment devices for Tromsø, who are travelling more than 1900 kilometers to play this game.

Tromsø form and stats

The visitors' first away game in the Eliteserien ended in defeat. Last season Tromsø had these away match statistics: Played 15; won 7, drew 4 and lost 4.

Attacker Moses Ebiye got a player rating of 8.0 in the game. "Man of the match" Ebiye scored two goals. An inspired comeback made the scores level in Tromsø's duel with Molde. It looked bad at 1-3 but the team were not done and fought back to 3-3 after Eric Kitolano found the equalizer. A crazy, crazy match with lots of goals last time out for Tromsø, as mentioned above. 6 goals in that one, will this match be as much fun?

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Bodø / Glimt wasn't a success with a 0-3 loss.

We have checked recent matches where Tromsø have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those five games were zero victories, two draws and three defeats.

It's early days yet, but Tromsø has scored 0 and conceded 3 goals from their travels in the league so far (1 game).

Head 2 Head

H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Viking five wins, zero draws and Tromsø five victories. As for goals, eight matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), two games had two or less.
