Haugesund vs Viking Match Preview

Haugesund is ranked at the 11th place with eight points and comes after two wins a draw and two loses over the last five matches. They were on a decent run, but their two recent loses against Molde and Valerenga made them drop in ranks. It is a good chance now to bounce back, as they face a rival of their level considering Viking is struggling too.

Haugesund scored four of their six goals in total while at home and found the back of the net in three out of four outings so far. It should not be that hard for them to repeat themselves, since Viking has the second worst defense in the league. 

Viking, on the other hand, is ranked at the 14th place with five points and comes after a single win a draw and three losses over the last five matches. It has been a very bad start of the new season for them as they won just one out of eight games in total. This is the opposite of what they showed in the last season, when they were competing for a spot in Europa League until the final weeks.

Anyway I expect them to make some change soon enough and it could be even this game. They have scored eight goals in eight games and have scored at least a goal in three of their last five games.

In conclusion, I think both teams can score at least a goal now. Haugesund has to try and play like they were doing in the previous games. They also have history on their side here, as they won three of the last five h2h games at home against Viking while finding the back of the net in four occasions. Viking must start winning games if they want to climb in ranks and aim for the goals they had at the start of the season, considering the performance from which they came.
