Viking FK vs Stromsgodset Predictions

League leaders can put on a show

Stromsgodset’s recent games have featured plenty of goals, and Saturday’s clash away to Viking in the Eliteserien is unlikely to be any different. No team has scored in more of their Eliteserien games than Viking this season, and over 2.5 goals is the bet.

Leaders Viking have ten wins from their 14 games this season, while Stromsgodset are 15th in the table with just two wins so far.

Viking are in form, having gone 13 games unbeaten in the Eliteserien, winning seven of the last nine, including a 4-2 win over Bodo/Glimt. In contrast, Stromsgodset are struggling, with nine defeats in their last 11 league games.

Both teams have wobbled defensively of late, with Stromsgodset conceding 25 goals in the league this season, while Viking have failed to keep a clean sheet in four of their last five games against Stromsgodset.

Viking have scored three goals or more in nine of their 14 Eliteserien games this season, and no team has scored more than their 38 goals. Stromsgodset have also been impressive going forward away from home, scoring 11 goals in five games.

Plenty of the hosts’ games this season have gone over the goals, with three or more goals in ten of Viking’s last 12 Eliteserien home games. Six of their seven home matches this season have had three or more goals.

No team has played more games in the Eliteserien this season in which both teams have found the net than Viking, and a 3-1 home win appeals as a correct-score pick.
