Viking, Recent FormLast time out Hamarkameratene inflicted an embarrassing 3-0 away defeat on Viking. Bjarte Lunde Aarsheim will expect an immediate reaction from his players in this match. Their share of possession in that meeting was 75%, while racking up 28 shots along the way, 10 of which were on target, in contrast to Hamarkameratene, who had 14 shots on goal with 6 on target.
Having lost 16 goals in their past 6 matches, he will surely be casting a critical eye over his defensive line, even though his team managed to pick up some points along the way due to the 8 goals they scored. Their goal scoring streak at home now stands at 15 games in a row, but they have only kept 1 clean sheet in their last 6 games at SR-Bank Arena.
They have been on a decent run of form lately at SR-Bank Arena, going undefeated in 5 of their previous 6 games there and notching up 4 wins along the way.
Goalscorer Lars-Jørgen Salvesen will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 3 goals in his last 6 league matches for Viking.
Sarpsborg 08, Recent FormSarpsborg 08 will be very happy having secured 3 points in their last match with a significant 3-2 home win against Valerenga. In that game they had 50% possession and managed 22 attempts on goal, with 10 on target, compared to Valerenga who had 12 attempts and 5 on target.
While they have been strong in attack with 16 goals scored in their last 6 games, their defence has let them down slightly, by conceeding 11 at the other end which has led to points being dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 away games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
They've had a bad run of form away from home recently, having lost 4 of their last 6 on the road and managing just 1 win.
Mikkel Maigaard is the man of the moment at Sarpsborg 08 right now and the toast of their travelling support, having notched up 3 goals from the last 6 away outings in the league.
Sarpsborg 08 suffered the disappointment of a 1-3 defeat at the hands of Viking the last time they met in the league.
Playing at home, Viking have conceded at least one goal in 2 of their last 3 league games against Sarpsborg.
In the league, Sarpsborg has a good track record when they travel to Viking, getting the better of them to win their last 2 games.
With no real injury worries, Viking manager Bjarte Lunde Aarsheim will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
There is only really one injury concern for the Sarpsborg manager Stefan Billborn ahead of this clash, with Jo Inge Berget (Groin) missing out, which gives Billborn a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
