Viking FK vs Stromsgodset Predictions

• The hosts have scored eight goals across their three home matches, conceding just once.
• Viking are unbeaten across their last six meetings with Strømsgodset.
• The visitors have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last five matches against Viking.

Flying Vikings

The hosts have gotten off to a flying start and currently sit top of the Eliteserien having won five of their six matches. They’re scoring an average of just over two goals per game and are currently on a run of three successive victories – two of which they won by at least a two-goal margin. They’ve started to make the SR-Bank Arena somewhat of a fortress as they are yet to drop points at home and in the three matches they’ve played there, they have scored eight times whilst shipping just a single goal.

Meanwhile, the visitors have made a relatively poor start to the campaign having lost three of their opening five contests. Their two away fixtures thus far have both been extremely tight encounters with each one being decided by a single goal. However, neither of the sides they faced on the road possessed the quality of Viking and Strømsgodset will need to be at their very best to stand a chance of taking anything from this one.

Hosts likely to secure victory

We think the hosts should have the upper hand here. They’re showing their quality early on and we think they can cover the -1 Asian handicap here.
