Kristiansund - Viking predictions

Kristiansund are no strangers to surprises but with 4.19 on home win here, such a result would be more of a miracle rather than surprise.

We are most likely going to see this match being won by Viking. They have a solid advantage over their opponents – at least according to the betting odds. That said, we’ve definitely seen much bigger surprises in the Eliteserien but such a scenario is not entirely likely in this fixture.

The home supporters were thrown into a frenzy in the last round of the Eliteserien. Having taken the previous trip with no expectations at all, Kristiansund return home as heroes. Not only did they lead at halftime but managed to win the match Molde despite being given a terrible price to do so (7.70).

The last time we saw Viking in the Eliteserien they played at home against Sandefjord. They failed to get a clear lead for more than half the game’s runtime, but completely dominated the second half which resulted in the 3:1 score at the end.

The home team is here on the back of two consecutive matches in which fewer than 2 goals were scored in total. That’s not the kind of trend you want to be on, though it does display a kind of consistency.

Looking over the visitors’ record in away games, it seems they don’t do well when they’re out of the comfort of their home field. They’ve recorded a worrying number of conceded goals in their previous 3 away games – more than 5, to be more precise.

It’s clear that Viking are the favourites in this matchup, and they have the numbers to back that up. They faced Kristiansund earlier this season and snagged a decisive victory which they’ll be looking to repeat.

An exciting match is in store as both teams have their full lineups available due to no suspensions or injuries.

Though some punters may prefer more exciting options, the Under 3.5 Goals market is a solid opportunity for this fixture. It offers a surprisingly solid balance between risk and betting value – though the returns on their own aren’t much to look at.
