Sandefjord vs Viking Match Preview

Sandefjord is ranked at 11th place with 31 points and comes after two wins two draws and a loss over the last five matches. With just four games left, they sit ten points above the direct relegation zone and seven from the play-out so the situation looks quite solid for them to play in Eliteserien next year too.

They have scored only 28 goals so far having the second worst attack in the league and even against a team like Aalesung which conceded 76 goals in 27 games they barely won 0-1 on the road. At home they have been pretty disappointing this season winning only three out of 12 games while losing five and drawing four.

Viking, on the other hand, is ranked at 7th place with 42 points and comes after a four-game winning streak since the loss against Odd. They have only three matches left to play and sitting just three points behind the Europa League zone they must try to win them all, and also wait how things will unveil. After this they will host a direct rival like Valerenga, so it is crucial that they win here in order to shorten the distance.

In this four game winning streak they scored 11 goals, averaging almost three goals per game, including an impressive 3-0 win against Rosenborg. The other wins were against teams like Brann, Sarpsborg 08 and Start which are pretty much the level of Sandefjord.

In conclusion, I think Viking can win this match or get at least a draw as minimum. They are a better team and if they repeat the same performances they did in the recent games they have all the right cards to earn three points. They managed to beat Sandefjord 2-0 in the previous h2h game this season. Sandefjord won just three games at home and two of them were against Aalesund and Mjondalen which fill the two bottom spots in the table.
