Prediction
We feel that in this game, Kristiansund would be disappointed if they were not to score against this Viking FK side, but one goal may not quite be as many as the goals that they could concede.
We are therefore anticipating a 1-2 winning margin for Viking FK at full-time. Hopefully this is a good one.
