Second-placed Viking will be out to strengthen their bid to retain the Norwegian Eliteserien title as they host fifth-placed Lillestrøm in their next fixture on Sunday. The Dark Blues have won all nine of their Eliteserien home matches this season, scoring a staggering 35 goals in the process, hence our prediction backing them to continue that trend.
After dropping points at Sandefjord and suffering defeat to Stuttgart in their Champions League main-phase debut, Viking bounced back in style by thrashing Kristiansund 8–1 in the Eliteserien last Sunday.
As well as keeping them on track in the two-horse race with table-toppers Bodø/Glimt for the Eliteserien title, Sunday's victory also saw Viking maintain their perfect home league record this season. The defending champions have also been prolific in front of goal at home in the league, scoring 35 times so far – more than any other team. They have lost just one of their last nine league matches overall (W6, D2).
Lillestrøm’s debut in the Europa League main phase on Thursday didn't go as planned, as they fell 2–1 at home to Portuguese side Torrense. Kanarifugla are on a run of back-to-back wins in the Eliteserien, including a 2–0 victory over Vålerenga last week.
However, Hans Erik Ødegaard’s men have failed to win five of their last seven Eliteserien matches, including a 2–1 defeat at home to Viking in Round 11. They have lost four of their last five Eliteserien meetings with Viking, all of which produced between two and five total goals.
