Stromsgodset vs Viking tips and predictions

Tiny margins expected in Eliteserien

With a handful of points between them, it's fourth placed Stromsgodset hosting second placed Viking in this Eliteserien clash as the visitors look to add to the 7 points that separate the sides.

The jury is still out on this one but it should be a good game. The away side probably has the edge in terms of the odds available. The match-up looks like to provide plenty of action as the visitors unpick this challenge.

The hosts look to put some of their latest tepid displays in the rear-view mirror. There have been a few concerns about Stromsgodset's defence. They have to show some fortitude. Conceding an average of 2.5 goals across their latest 4 games on their own paddock has given them pause for thought.

Viking have won 13 of their last 18 trips away. They've scored at least once in all of their last 20 away matches which is a statistic they will want to build on here. In defence they have also posted some good numbers. They've kept a clean sheet in 7 of their last 13 away matches. The visitors will fancy their chances.

To be fair, it won't be a surprise to see them finish with the stalemate. The betting markets imply that both sides can get in on the act as they can both be dangerous in attack. Whatever happens, with the odds-against price on BTTS No that seems the better option on this occasion.

The head-to-head results show that Stromsgodset have not won any of the last 7 matches between these two teams.
