Viking Preview – Will the leaders chalk up another three points?
Viking, who finished third last term, have made a blistering start to their 2022 Eliteserien season. After six games played, the Dark Blues have picked up five wins and have suffered just one loss.
Viking’s season started with back-to-back 1-0 wins over Sarpsborg and Aalesund before a 2-1 loss at Odd Grenland on matchday three. They have gone on to secure three wins on the bounce, seeing off Bodo/Glimt, Haugesund and Molde. Bjarte Lunde Aarsheim and Morten Jensen’s boys have netted nine goals in their last two games.
Viking are sitting pretty at the top of the league table with an impressive 15 points to their name. They are the top scorers on 14, while just second-place Lillestrom have conceded fewer. Can the side from Stavanger secure another three points from this one?
Stromsgodset Preview – Can Godset build on Rosenborg victory?
Stromsgodset have had a mixed start to their season, winning two and losing three of their opening five games. Bjorn Petter Ingebretsen’s side languish in 13th position with just six points to their name.
Stromsgodset started their campaign with a disappointing loss at Jerv before losing at home to Molde. Their first victory came against Haugesund, though they were thrashed at home by Sandefjord in the next one. Last weekend’s 3-0 home success over Rosenborg was a step in the right direction, however.
