Viking vs Stromsgodset Prediction
Viking vs Stromsgodset Prediction and Betting Tips for this Saturday’s Eliteserien showdown at Lyse Arena. The league leaders will look to bounce back from a draw as they welcome a struggling Godset side desperate to avoid yet another defeat. In this article, you’ll find Eliteserien Predictions from the XpertStats team, backed by the latest stats and trends.
- Viking are unbeaten in their last 18 matches in all competitions.
- Stromsgodset have lost six consecutive league games, conceding heavily.
- Both sides average over four goals per match this season.
Viking come into this clash riding an impressive 18-game unbeaten streak in all competitions under the guidance of Bjarte Lunde Aarsheim and Morten Jensen. Despite dropping points with a 1-1 draw at Rosenborg last weekend, the Stavanger outfit still hold a commanding lead at the top of the table. With an average of 3 goals scored per game and 71% BTTS, Viking matches rarely disappoint for entertainment, especially at Lyse Arena where they remain undefeated for over a year.
On home soil, Viking have won nine of their last ten games and have hit double digits in goals during their last three meetings with Stromsgodset. With a chance to extend their gap at the summit to double figures, expect them to push forward aggressively from the first whistle. Their attacking trio is likely to exploit the visitors’ fragile backline, which has already conceded 2.4 goals per game this season.
Stromsgodset, meanwhile, find themselves second-bottom in the standings after six straight defeats. Dag-Eilev Fagermo’s men were outclassed 2-0 by Valerenga last Sunday, piling more pressure on a side that has leaked goals at an alarming rate. With only six points so far, their hopes of survival will rest on tightening up defensively and stealing something on the counter, though their away record shows just two wins in the last five on the road.
Fans of goal-heavy fixtures may not be disappointed, as Stromsgodset games average 4.6 goals and 100% have seen Over 2.5 goals land this term. However, given Viking’s solid home form and firepower, the visitors will likely need more than just luck to keep the league leaders quiet. For those seeking reliable Eliteserien Predictions, backing Viking to cover the handicap could be the smart play this Saturday.
Backing Viking (-1.5) makes sense given the massive gap in form and quality between these sides. Viking are unbeaten in their last 18 matches and boast the best attacking record in the division, averaging three goals scored per game. Their home ground has been a fortress — undefeated for over a year — and they have already put five past Stromsgodset in their last home meeting. In contrast, Stromsgodset are on a six-game losing streak and have conceded 10 goals in their last three matches alone. Their average of 2.4 goals conceded per game underlines how fragile their defence is. Viking’s high pressing style and strong forward line should overwhelm Godset’s shaky backline. Covering a -1.5 handicap means Viking need to win by two or more, which they’ve done comfortably against weaker sides. Given the hosts’ attacking stats and the visitors’ struggles, Viking should secure a convincing home win and maintain their title charge.
