Prediction
In the last 13 head-to-head meetings between Sandefjord and Viking, the hosts have covered the handicap (+1.5) in 12 of them. Crucially, at home Sandefjord concede an average of one goal per 90 minutes, which also suggests that if they do lose, the margin is likely to be narrow. That makes a bet on Sandefjord with Handicap +1.5 the natural choice here.
Total Goals Prediction
Sandefjord's last six matches have all featured no more than three goals. On top of that, the hosts average just 0.67 goals per 90 minutes, while Viking away from home average 1.5. Together, those numbers point towards a low-scoring game, and the bet is Total Goals - Under 3.5.
Correct Score Prediction
According to the algorithm's calculations, the most likely correct scores for this match are 0:1 (13.34%), 0:2 (10.57%) and 1:1 (10%). A narrow Viking win comes out as the most probable outcome, though a draw also remains among the leading options. All three scorelines are fairly close in probability.
β Editor's Prediction
Viking have scored in 42 of their last 43 matches. Sandefjord have conceded in ten consecutive meetings between these two sides. The hosts can also find the net here: Sandefjord have scored in 11 of the last 12 Eliteserien head-to-head meetings. We're expecting an open game. The bet is Both Teams to Score. Predicted score: 1-2.
