Strømsgodset - Viking predictions

It would take a small miracle for the hosts to get to a stalemate this match, let alone win somehow. A quick look at the 6.16 price for a home win should be enough to tell you that, though.

Viking seem to be on their way to another easy victory and 3 more points to the tally. Priced at 1.50, the odds favour them heavily, so any outcome other than an away win is not exactly a safe choice.

Although Strømsgodset lost their previous away game at Vålerenga , things didn’t go as badly as they could have. They were severely outmatched and playing as visitors, yet somehow managed to secure a lead before half-time. The 2:1 result was a narrow loss for them, though they walked away with their pride intact.

Meeting Viking in their home turf cannot be easy. Last round, they walked away with a convincing 5:1 victory against Bryne and three additional points on the scoreboard. With the odds of 1.30 the victory came as no surprise and they will likely show the same form as visitors.

Strømsgodset have been struggling to keep the ball out of their net lately. For instance, their previous 3 Eliteserien matches were marked by more than 5 goals conceded in total.

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.

The bookies see the away team as more likely to win this game, partly based on an earlier match played between them and Strømsgodset. Playing as the home tea, Viking secured a solid victory and 3 more points for the tally. The conditions are somewhat less favourable this time, but they could still be able to come out on top.

With no players out due to injury or suspension, both teams will have their full lineups ready for a thrilling showdown.

While it’s risky as far as betting predictions go, a Draw/Away bet in the Half Time/Full Time market is the best place to find betting value in this match. Simply put, the 5.61 odds outweigh the relatively small implied probability.
