Viking - Haugesund

Viking took an early lead in the first half of the match against Start in the last league round, though against the run of play. Against an imposing opposition Viking laid low but always maintained their sharpness in front of goal, leading 3-0 at half down. Controlling the second half but without scoring, they won the match with the same numbers. Haugesund managed a late goal to secure a 2-2 draw against Stabaek. Having been pinned to the back for more than ninety minutes, the late equaliser saw them grab a point they won. The opposition will be less satisfied however. Haugesund’s 2-2 result was their sixth draw of the season, and ensured that they have only lost once in the last five matches. They are a stubborn side, and have some enduring qualities despite struggling in the bottom half. Viking are flying high at the moment, with four wins in the last five, and they are favourites to win another match here.Over 2.5.
