✨ Prediction

We feel that Viking FK and Strømsgodset IF should both be able to find the back of the net at least once here although it’s difficult at this stage to select a clear winner.

A draw looks like a realistic possibility but, again, we don’t expect it to end goalless. We’re therefore seeing a high-scoring affair with a 2-2 at full-time.
