Sarpsborg 08, Recent FormThere will be a feeling of disappointment amongst the Sarpsborg 08 players having failed to take any points away from their recent 2-1 away defeat at the hands of Tromsø. In that game they had 55% possession and managed 11 attempts on goal, with 2 on target, compared to Tromsø who had 10 attempts and 5 on target.
Stefan Billborn will be quite satisfied with his squad's offensive prowess in recent performances. They have managed to notch up 9 goals from their last 6 outings. However, the manager will know they have work to do at the back where they have let in 6 goals and, as a result, lost some important points. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but they have only kept 1 clean sheet in their last 6 games at Sarpsborg Stadion.
Their form has to be regarded as good of late with 5 matches unbeaten from their last 6 and 3 wins bagged along the way.
Goalscorer Bjørn Utvik will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 3 goals in his last 6 league matches for Sarpsborg 08.
Viking, Recent FormThe 4-3 home defeat to Molde will not have sat easily with the Viking squad, who would not have been pleased to squander all three points. In that game they recorded 48 % of the possession, with 18 attempts on goal, 7 on target. Their opponents found the target on 5 of their 15 shots on goal.
Whilst manager Bjarte Lunde Aarsheim will be pleased with his team's performance in front of goal, having scored 17 goals in their last 6 games, he will want to tighten up his defence if they are to pick up more points, with 16 goals conceded in the same period. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 away games.
They've had a poor run of form on the road recently, losing 3 of their last 6 away games and managing only 1 win.
Zlatko Tripić will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 4 goals in the last 6 league outings for Viking.
Sarpsborg 08 recorded a 0-1 win last time these two sides went head to head in the league.
The Sarpsborg defence has struggled in front of its own fans when De mørkeblå have come to town, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 4 meetings at Sarpsborg Stadion.
In the league, Viking has a good track record when they travel to Sarpsborg, getting the better of them to win their last 3 games.
With no real injury worries, Sarpsborg manager Stefan Billborn will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
There is only really one injury concern for the Viking manager Bjarte Lunde Aarsheim ahead of this clash, with Jošt Urbančič (Broken foot) missing out, which gives Lunde Aarsheim a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
