Viking FK vs Haugesund Predictions

• Viking have lost just one of their six home games in Eliteserien this season
• Haugesund have won just once on the road in the league this term
• Only three teams have scored fewer than Haugesund’s 12 goals in 12 Eliteserien games this season

Viking can strengthen claim for second

With Bodø/Glimt looking set to run away with the title in Norway this season, many teams are battling for that second spot behind the frontrunners from the north.

Viking are among that number and three wins in their last three games have seen them climb up to fourth place in the standings.

Having lost just once at home in the league this season, Viking have made their Stavanger stronghold a tough place to go to these days.

Haugesund have won once on their travels this term and have been averaging just one goal a game through the campaign.

While their home form has been strong, Viking have kept just one clean sheet this season and a home win with both teams to score could be the way to go in Saturday’s clash.

Salvesen a man in form

Scoring in both of his last two games for Viking, Lars-Jørgen Salvesen is a man in form for De Mørkeblå.

With four goals in his first 11 games for Viking since leaving Bodø/Glimt at the end of last season, Salvesen is worth considering in the anytime goalscorer market for this one.
