Viking, Recent FormViking boss Bjarte Lunde Aarsheim will need to instil positive feelings within his team after they endured a 5-1 away mauling from Bodø Glimt. They came away from that fixture with 46% of the possession and clocked up 12 attempts on goal with 4 on target. By comparison, Bodø Glimt managed 20 attempts on goal, with 9 on target.
Whilst Lunde Aarsheim will be pleased with his team's performance in front of goal, having scored 15 goals in their last 6 games, he will want to tighten up his defence if they are to pick up more points, with 13 goals conceded in the same period. They have only kept 1 clean sheet in their last 6 home games.
They have shown a solid run of form lately at SR-Bank Arena, which has seen them go unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 home matches while registering 3 victories from the same run.
Zlatko Tripić will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 3 goals in the last 6 league games for Viking.
Molde, Recent FormIn their previous league fixture, Molde managed a remarkable 5-0 home win against Sandefjord. In that game they recorded 55 % of the possession, with 26 attempts on goal, 9 on target. Their opponents found the target on 0 of their 5 shots on goal.
Manager Erling Moe will be delighted with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 18 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 8 goals conceded in the same period. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 away games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
They have had a good run of form recently, winning 4 out of their last 6 games.
Markus Kaasa will be keen to get his name on the scoresheet against Viking in this match, having already scored 3 goals in his last 6 away games for Molde.
The last time these two teams met Molde enforced their superiority over Viking with a comfortable 1-4 win.
Goals should be on the cards for Molde in this one, given they have found the net, with at least 1 goal, against Viking in their last 10 meetings together. De mørkeblå have an impressive record of scoring goals against Molde, with a tally of 13 goals against them in their previous 5 encounters. Molde have a good attacking record away to De mørkeblå in the league, having scored a total of 8 goals in their last 3 visits, which gives an average of 2.67 goals per game.
In front of goal, Martin Ellingsen has scored 2 goals in the previous 3 league matches for Molde against Viking at SR-Bank Arena and will be confident of getting more of the same this time out.
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.
With only Eirik Andersen (Cruciate ligament) and Martin Ellingsen (Knee) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Erling Moe will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
