Second-placed Viking host Sandefjord at the Lyse Arena in the Eliteserien this Saturday, looking to bounce back after a rare defeat. Even so, Viking's matches have tended to be high-scoring affairs this season, with eight of their last 11 games featuring 3+ goals. Our Viking FK vs Sandefjord match prediction is backing that outcome this weekend.
De mørkeblå have been outright the best team this season. They sit second and one point off the top. But Viking have played three games fewer than Tromso, meaning they can claim nine points that put them eight points ahead of the summit. That performance should tell you just how good the hosts have been in front of goal this season.
In truth, Viking have scored the 2nd-most goals so far (29), and 21 of those have been at home (the most). With over four goals per home game, De mørkeblå alone have what it takes to win the bet alone. They went goalless last time out against Sarpsborg 08 in their 1-0 away loss. However, their last meeting in this stadium was a 6-3 thrashing of IK Start.
Sandefjord themselves have been involved in goal-fests, with their latest outing finishing 2-2 with Hamkam. The prior game was a loss, but they struck back against Molde (2-1), marking seven straight games that Sandefjord have scored.

Our Viking FK vs Sandefjord Prediction
Everything here points to goals at the Lyse Arena. Viking have been ruthless at home, banging in 21 of their 29 goals on their own patch and averaging over four a game there. So even a Sandefjord side happy to sit in should still get stretched.
The visitors are no bore draw waiting to happen either, having scored in seven straight and just traded four goals with HamKam. Add in a head-to-head that has gone over 2.5 in each of the last 11 meetings, and the pick makes itself. Hence, our Viking FK vs Sandefjord match prediction is Over 2.5 Goals.
