Viking FK, buoyed by their previous result, will be hoping for more of the same after a 2-5 Eliteserien victory against Hamarkameratene.

In that match, Viking FK had 63% possession and 27 attempts on goal with 12 of them on target. For Viking FK, the goals were scored by Henrik Falchener (2', 37', 68' Own goal), Sander Svendsen (4'), Zlatko Tripić (13') and Peter Buch Christiansen (54'). Hamarkameratene had 7 attempts at goal with 2 of them on target. Julian Gonstad (96') was the scorer for Hamarkameratene.

Viking FK have been on a persistent run of goalscoring form, netting every time they’ve gone out to play in their last 6 games.

They have managed to rack up 18 during that period while also conceding a total of 9. That trend isn’t assured to be continued here, however.

Taking a look at their past results, Viking FK:

• haven't been beaten in the league by Tromsø IL in their last 2 games.
• have not been beaten in their last 12 home league matches. It's been impressive.

📰 Team News: Viking FK

Gianni Stensness (Knee injury), Kristoffer Klaesson (unknown injury) and Nick D'Agostino (Ankle injury) aren’t available for Viking FK manager Bjarte Lunde Aarsheim.

We are thinking that De mørkeblå look set to use a 4-3-3 system, utilising Thomas Kinn, Henrik Heggheim, Henrik Falchener, Anders Baertelsen, Martin Roseth, Jakob Segadal Hansen, Joe Bell, Sander Svendsen, Zlatko Tripic, Peter Christiansen and Edvin Austboe.

📰 Team News: Tromsø IL

We’re of the thinking that Gutan seem likely to begin the game with a 3-5-2 system, starting the game with Jakob Haugaard, Vetle Skjaervik, Tobias Guddal, Anders Jenssen, Leo Cornic, Jens Hjertoe-Dahl, R. Y. Jenssen, Kent-Are Antonsen, R. R. Norheim, V. Oestraat Erlien and J. Napoleon Romsaas.

💡 Prediction

Looking at these two teams, we feel that Viking FK will, in all likelihood, be able to create a decent number of chances and shots on target.

At the same time, Tromsø IL will not find it easy to score a goal of their own but we can see them getting the chances to score, too.

We reckon that it will be a decent 3-1 margin for Viking FK when the full-time whistle blows.
