Viking - Strømsgodset betting tips and odds

The odds are definitely leaning in the hosts’ favour, but this match is far from a done deal. Judging by odds alone, Strømsgodset may yet be able to walk away with a draw or even a surprise victory – though it’s still a longshot.

It would be a minor miracle for Strømsgodset to win at Viking, and they’re likely aware of that. Though risky, such an outcome could bring solid profits thanks to the 4.75 price on most online sportsbooks.

Viking are coming off from a 2:2 draw in an away game at Bodø / Glimt . Betting predictions for that game were heavily in their opponents’ favour, though, so the fact that they pulled off a draw both at half time and as the final result is a success, relatively speaking.

Strømsgodset’s latest home match against Vålerenga ended in a 1:1 draw. All things considered, though, such an outcome is not all bad for them. They were still up against overwhelming odds - most online sportsbooks priced a home win at 4.20, but Strømsgodset even took the lead in the first half.

Looking over the home team’s recent record, we can see a worrying trend. They’ve conceded more than 5 goals over the past 3 matches alone, indicating problems in their defensive lineup.

The away team’s previous three away games left a lot to be desired when it comes to how they perform defensively. Over 5 conceded goals in just 3 matches is never a good look, even if you’re playing as visitors.

Viking already have a victory over Strømsgodset on their record. It happened earlier in this running season of the Eliteserien, marking them as the clear favourites for the upcoming showdown.

Fortunately, both teams will be able to give their all this Saturday. Neither squad has been affected by injuries or suspensions, allowing the coaches to work with all the tools at their disposal.

An Over 2.5 Goals is a great bet if you like staying on the safe side. The betting value for this market is strong compared even to the 1.53, which makes this an easy betting prediction to make.
