Sandefjord vs Viking — Tips & Analysis

Sandefjord +1: Viking are the better team, but they do not often win by a lot. They have won by 2 or more goals in only 7 of their last 19 games. Sandefjord have lost by 2 or more in just 4 of their last 19, so heavy defeats are not their habit. Sandefjord are poor going forward at home. They have scored six goals in nine home league games, and they did not score at all against Brann last time out. Their home record reads 2 wins, 4 ties and 3 losses, letting in 1 goal a game. Quiet, low scoring nights are what happens here. Viking sit 2nd on 43 points, and they have won 15 of their last 19 games in all competitions, tying 2 and losing 2. On the road they have won 7, tied 2 and lost 2, letting in less than a goal a game. The one thing in our favour is their week. Viking played a cup tie at Brodd on 2 September and come here on two days' rest against five for Sandefjord. Berisha and Baertelsen are out, with three more doubtful. A 0-2 to Viking is the likely finish, and that beats this bet. Sandefjord need to stay within a goal, which means keeping it tight early and taking one of their few chances. The clear risk is history. Viking have won the last five meetings between these sides. Tired legs and a quiet home ground still make Sandefjord worth the head start.
