Odds Ballklubb, Recent FormThe 2-0 away defeat to Brann will not have sat easily with the Odds Ballklubb squad, who would not have been pleased to squander all three points. In that game they had 41% possession and managed 6 attempts on goal, with 2 on target, compared to Brann who had 14 attempts and 6 on target.
Manager Kenneth Dokken will be reasonably pleased with his team's attacking displays in recent matches, having managed to score 10 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have work to do defensively after they conceded 8 goals in those games and dropped some valuable points along the way. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but they have only kept 1 clean sheet in their last 6 games at Skagerak Arena.
It's been a mixed run of form at Skagerak Arena for Odds BK recently, with 2 wins and 2 defeats in their last 6 home games.
Viking, Recent FormA point gained from their 1-1 draw against Fredrikstad in their previous encounter will not be considered a bad outcome for Viking. In that game they recorded 68 % of the possession, with 15 attempts on goal, 5 on target. Their opponents found the target on 2 of their 11 shots on goal.
When it comes to attacking power Bjarte Lunde Aarsheim will be justly satisfied with his squad's performances of late, which has seen them chalk up 8 goals in their last 6 matches. However, it hasn't all been going well, and questions remain about their defence with 8 goals lost in those 6 matches resulting in some crucial points dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but they've failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games on the road.
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.
In the last match between these two, goals were scored on both sides, with the game ending in a 1-1 draw.
The De mørkeblå defence has struggled against Odds BK in past meetings, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 8 games.
In the league, Odds BK has had a good run at home against Viking, being unbeaten in their last 5 meetings at Skagerak Arena.
Odds BK manager Kenneth Dokken has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Torgeir Børven (Groin), Steffen Hagen (Knee) and Sondre Johansen (Cruciate ligament) are all currently out of contention for this game.
With only Sondre Bjørshol (Hamstring) and Kristoffer Løkberg (Broken ankle) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Bjarte Lunde Aarsheim will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
