Viking vs Sarpsborg 08: Top Free Betting Tips

Viking would be desperate to find the winning ways back in the league when they host Sarpsborg in the next fixture on Sunday, 16 October. The visitors have been successful to record a lengthy sequence of undefeated games previously in Eliteserien.

Viking to Win

The Vikings are winless in the last three home league attempts but won the previous one in NM Cup. The team has also an impressive record against Sarpsborg in the recent H2Hs by winning four of the last five meetings. On the other hand, Sarpsborg has won four of the last five attempts but they didn’t produce the same momentum in away venues. They were undefeated in the last two visits against the bottom-sided teams of the table but have been terrible with consecutive defeats before those attempts. Hence, we would like to back Viking in this meeting to add three points at the end.

Over 2.5 Goals

The next prediction for this game would be a high-scoring total, the same as four of the last five H2Hs between these teams displayed. Sarpsborg has found the back of the net 14 times in the last five attempts, scoring more than once in four of them. Vikings have scored six goals in the last five games but they have also averaged two goals per game in the recent home H2Hs against Sarpsborg.

Both Teams to Score

Sarpsborg would be optimistic to create chances in this game as they scored in all of the previous six games. The team has also hit the target in four of the last five visits but conceded goals in all of them. On the other hand, Viking failed to score in the last league attempt but caged the ball into the net successive eight times before that. Three of the recent four H2Hs featured both teams on the scoring end and the same is expected for this duel.
