Viking, Recent FormThere will be a feeling of disappointment amongst the Viking players having failed to take any points away from their recent 1-0 away defeat at the hands of Bodo Glimt. In that game they had 41% possession and managed 12 attempts on goal, with 4 on target, compared to Bodo Glimt who had 15 attempts and 5 on target.
They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 8 goals in their last 6 outings, but they have had their own defensive frailties to worry about, having conceded 10 and seen valuable points lost. Their goal scoring streak at home now stands at 18 games in a row, but they have only kept 1 clean sheet in their last 6 games at SR-Bank Arena.
In terms of results, it's been a bit of a mixed bag for Viking recently, having won 3 and lost 3 of their last 6 games.
Brann, Recent FormFailing to acquire any points in their 2-0 home defeat by Fredrikstad will have left the Brann squad feeling a little deflated. They came away from that fixture with a 79% share of the possession and clocked up 21 attempts on goal with 4 on target, in comparison to Fredrikstad, who managed 5 attempts on goal, 3 of which were on target.
Eirik Horneland will be very satisfied with his team's ability to find the net, with 12 goals in their last 6 matches; however, he will be less pleased with his back line, who have conceded 10 goals during those same matches. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 away games, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games overall.
They have had a good run of form recently, winning 4 out of their last 6 games.
Joachim Soltvedt has scored 3 goals in the last 6 away games and will be looking to add more in this fixture against Viking.
Viking recorded a 0-2 win last time these two sides went head to head in the league.
Away from home, Bergens stolthet have shipped at least one goal to Viking in each of their previous 5 league matches against them. In their past 5 meetings, De mørkeblå's defence has been pretty stingy, only conceding 2 goals, so Brann will have to take their chances when they come.
Viking will be looking to continue their winning streak against Brann having won in their last 5 meetings in the league.
There is only really one injury concern for the Viking manager Bjarte Lunde Aarsheim ahead of this clash, with Sondre Bjørshol (Hamstring) missing out, which gives Lunde Aarsheim a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
Eirik Horneland has a number of injury concerns in his Brann squad to contend with: Ulrik Mathisen (Thigh), Felix Myhre (Groin), Thore Pedersen (Thigh), Mads Sande (Cruciate ligament) and Jonas Torsvik (Groin)
