Viking Preview – Hosts to stretch unbeaten run?
Viking finished third last term, and they have made a strong start to this campaign under joint bosses Bjarte Lunde Aarsheim and Morten Jensen. The Stavanger club have picked up an impressive 20 points from their opening nine fixtures.
Viking have sealed six wins, suffered just one defeat, and have drawn twice. Since losing to Odd Grenland back in mid-April, the Dark Blues are undefeated in six in the league, winning four and drawing two. However, two of those draws have come in their last three matches.
Viking will be looking to get back to winning ways after dropping points against Tromso last time out. The hosts are the bookies’ favourites at 4/11.
HamKam Preview – Can Kamma end a run of four straight draws?
HamKam have not been an easy nut to crack at the start of this season, but too many draws have hindered their momentum. Kamma are the draw specialists in Eliteserien, with five of their opening seven ending all square.
Jakob Michelsen’s side claimed a 3-0 win over Sandefjord on matchday three, with Vegard Kongsro, Hasan Kurucay and Jonas Enkerud getting the goals. Since then, however, HamKam have drawn four in a row.
