Kristiansund vs Viking tips and predictions

Patience likely difference for Kristiansund

Another display of the home side's recent strike rate in front of goal could be decisive during this match-up. The total expected goals is higher than normal so this could be entertaining. But that doesn't mean there's value in the prices.

It will be tiny margins that determine which side comes out on top. It comes down to gut-feeling and this preview's inclination is towards the home win.

Kristiansund have shown what they're capable of leading up to this clash. The hosts have logged 4 home wins from their last 7 games while the visitors have been defeated in 11 of their last 19 matches. This doesn't look like the recent record of a side that will fancy their chances.

The home side is in some form on their own paddock. Kristiansund have scored three or more times in 4 of their recent 6 home matches and that's been consolidated at the back where they have conceded no more than once in all of their last 3 home games.

Viking have conceded three or more times in 4 of their last 8 matches.

It's possible this is a match that will simply depend on which side starts the match more brightly. The sportsbooks' prices indicate that neither side will keep a clean sheet during this match as they could be well matched. But with the odds-against price on BTTS No, that seems the better option.
