Last weekend, Viking beat Kristiansund 8–1 at Lyse Arena. On Sunday, they return to the same pitch with the chance to move level with Bodø/Glimt at the top of the table.
Lillestrøm will be a tougher opponent. They have won their last two league matches and sit sixth, but travel to Stavanger only three days after their Europa League defeat against Torreense. Viking also won 2–1 when the teams met at Åråsen in July.
Viking hit eight against Kristiansund
Viking delivered their best attacking performance of the season last weekend, beating Kristiansund 8–1 at Lyse Arena.
The result took them to 51 goals from 20 league matches. They have won 15 games and lost only three, leaving them three points behind Bodø/Glimt with one game fewer played.
Another victory on Sunday would take Viking level on points with the league leaders.
Lillestrøm have improved in the league
Lillestrøm have responded well after losing 4–1 against Fredrikstad in August.
They followed a 2–1 victory away to Brann with a 2–0 win over Vålerenga, lifting them to sixth place in the table.
AdvertisementTheir preparations for Sunday have been more difficult. Lillestrøm lost 2–1 against Torreense in the Europa League on Thursday and now have only three days to recover before travelling to Stavanger.
Viking won the first meeting
Viking collected all three points when the teams met at Åråsen in July.
Kristoffer Askildsen and Peter Christiansen scored in a controlled 2–1 victory. Lars Ranger pulled one back for Lillestrøm, but Viking protected their lead and prevented a late equaliser.
With home advantage this time, Viking should be able to place Lillestrøm under even greater pressure.
Verdict
Lillestrøm have won their last two league matches and are capable of contributing to the scoreline. However, Thursday’s European match gives them limited time to prepare for a difficult trip to Lyse Arena.
Viking have already beaten Lillestrøm away and enter the return fixture after scoring eight goals. They should create enough chances to win again, with a 3–1 home victory the most likely result.
Tip
Viking to win and over 2.5 goals
