Viking will not be too disappointed to take a point from their 3-3 result against Odds Ballklubb last time out.  In that game they had 62% possession and managed 24 attempts on goal, with 5 on target, compared to Odds Ballklubb who had 7 attempts and 3 on target.  

It seems pretty certain that Bjarte Lunde Aarsheim will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 7 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 11 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped.  Their goal scoring streak at home now stands at 20 games in a row, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games overall.  

They've drawn their last 3 games, but their search for a win in a league game extends even further with 4 consecutive games without a win.

Tromso boss Jørgen Vik will need to instil positive feelings within his team after they endured a 3-0 home mauling from Sarpsborg 08.  In that game they recorded 53 % of the possession, with 9 attempts on goal, 1 on target. Their opponents found the target on 5 of their 10 shots on goal.  

While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 5 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 11, and leading to valuable points being dropped.   They have scored in 5 of their last 6 away games, but they have failed to record a clean sheet in their last 11 games overall.  

Tromso will not be enjoying their recent run of poor form, having lost 4 league games in a row no wins in 5 games.  

With 4 goals scored in his last 6 away games for Tromso, Vegard Erlien will be looking to add more goals against Viking in this match.
