Second-time participants Viking will look to snap their winless run as they welcome debutants Sabah to Lyse Arena in this Champions League Matchday 4 clash on Wednesday. The Dark Blues enter this clash unbeaten in 14 consecutive high-scoring matches at Lyse Arena, winning 13, a factor that has influenced our prediction for this contest.
Viking returned to the Champions League for the first time since the 1992/93 season, but their campaign in Europe's elite competition has not gone as planned. Two defeats and a draw have left them 33rd in the UCL standings with a –4 goal difference. The Dark Blues will be desperate to end that winless start to the competition and strengthen their playoff chances with a win on Wednesday.
Sabah have fared relatively better with a run of two defeats and one win leaving them 25th in the standings – just one place outside the playoff spots. However, the Azerbaijani champions, on their debut season in Europe's elite tier, will face a tall order to overcome a Viking side that has been indomitable at home.
This will be the first-ever both meeting between the two sides, of whom looking to improve their fortunes in the competition. What are their chances? Continue reading as we take you through further details.

Viking FK - Sabah FK: Form Analysis
Viking entered this match off the back of a 3–2 defeat to fellow Champions League participants Bodo/Glimt in a top-of-the-table domestic league clash at the weekend, a result that saw them surrender their three-point lead at the top of the Norwegian Elite series standings. They suffered a 3–1 defeat at Aston Villa in their last UCL outing.
However, the Norwegian champions have made a fortress out of Lyse Arena this season. They remain unbeaten in their last 14 competitive matches at the venue (D1), including a dramatic 3–3 draw against elite opponent Bayern Munich in Round 2. All of those matches produced at least three goals.
Viking have scored three or more goals in five of their last six matches at Lyse Arena
Sabah dropped from the top of the Azerbaijani Premier League standings following their 3–2 defeat against Turan Tovuz at the weekend. That setback extended their winless run across all competitions to three matches, including a 2–1 defeat at home to Borussia Dortmund in their last Champions League outing.
The Owls face another difficult test on Wednesday. They suffered a heavy 4–0 defeat away to Manchester United in their Champions League opener – a result that extended their losing streak in European away matches this season to three games, all of which produced no fewer than three goals.

Viking FK & Sabah FK Squad Analysis
Before drawing a blank at the weekend against Bodo/Glimt, Peter Christiansen had scored in seven successive matches for the Dark Blues, including their last two UCL outings. The Danish attacking sensation remains the hosts' main attacking threat heading into this clash.
Zlatko Tripić has the most goal contributions (29) for Viking this season across Eliteserien and Champions League matches
Sabah may also struggle to contain playmaker Zlatko Tripić, who has a team-high 21 assists for Viking this season and three goal contributions in as many Champions League appearances for the team. The Norwegian is expected to return in attacking midfield alongside Kristoffer Askildsen, Joe Bell and Henrik Bjordal.
Veljko Simic was left out of Sabah's domestic league clash at the weekend after being subbed off against Qarabag with an undisclosed injury. He remains a doubt for Wednesday's clash with Du Queiroz and Khaibulaev emerging as potential replacement options.
Meanwhile, key forward Joy-Lance Mickels, who scored against Slavia Prague in Round 2 and in domestic league action at the weekend, is expected to lead the Owls' attack, with midfield duo Kaheem Parris and Du Queiroz providing support. Steve Solvet and Aden McCarthy will return at center-back alongside fullbacks Akim Zedadka and Tymoteusz Puchacz.
