Aalesund vs Viking FK Predictions

• Eight of Viking FK’s last ten games have featured at least three goals
• Viking have lost just one of their last 12 matches
• Both teams have scored in all but one of Aalesund’s last nine outings

Viking have established a strong position

Viking FK will be delighted to see themselves at the top of the Norwegian table, especially as they have a game in hand on their nearest challenger Bodo/Glimt and two on third-placed Tromso.

Just one defeat in 12 games is a solid effort but there have been a few problems for the leaders, who have kept a relatively low number of clean sheets – just three in their 13 league outings.

They have plenty of strength, but that habit of conceding makes an away win with both teams scoring an attractive proposition for their game against Aalesund.

Cup win should encourage Aalesund

The hosts could be in for a difficult time as they have won just two of their 13 games and they have the second-leakiest defence in the division after conceding 28 goals.

But both teams have scored in eight of their last nine games and they could take some confidence from the fact they beat Viking 2-1 in the Norwegian Cup in March.

So we could see quite an open game, so take the visitors to win a match in which both teams find the net and correct-score enthusiasts are pointed to a 2-1 Viking win, which has occurred in three of their last four games.
