Viking - Haugesund predictions

It’s quite easy to predict that Viking will take the 3 points here. Though a different result is not entirely impossible, it would still be quite a notable upset.

If betting odds are anything to go on – and they are - Haugesund will likely get overrun by their opponents with little hope of winning. Considering how one-sided this matchup is, they may want to cut their losses and focus their energy elsewhere.

Viking missed a great opportunity last time out. The 1.75 betting odds had them installed as firm favourites to claim an easy win against Tromsø but they failed dramatically. The hosts were down at the halftime mark and forced to work their way up in order to save a point from this match.

Haugesund entered their previous Eliteserien bout as the underdogs but managed to maintain a quiet stalemate throughout the match. Their home supporters weren’t exactly treated with excitement, but the draw is an overall success considering the vastly unfavourable betting odds.

The first step Viking need to make to improve is to shore up their defences. With more than 5 goals conceded over the last 3 matches, it seems to be the main aspect of play holding them back.

It’s easy to spot a certain trend when looking over Haugesund’s recent history – and not in a good way. Their latest appearances were marked by a high concession rate. For example, their previous 3 matches featured more than 5 conceded goals.

One of the main reasons the bookies are pricing a home win at 1.33 is the previous clash between these two teams. Earlier in the season, Viking won as visitors. To be fair, though, it was a relatively narrow victory.

Wednesday's matchup will feature both teams at full strength, allowing for a fair and competitive game.

An Over 3.5 Goals wager here can net you considerably better results than the Over 2.5 counterpart, and the probability of winning remains almost as strong. The 1 odds offered at 1xbet are great for value, too.
