Head-to-head statistics Viking - Fredrikstad
Viking Team Overview
During the week, Viking drew 3-3 at home with Bayern in the Champions League. The hosts were 2-0 up at half-time, despite managing just eight shots across the whole match compared to 25 for their opponents. The expected goals gap was even more striking: 1.01 against 3.55.
Ahead of the Bayern match, Viking manager Morten Jensen called Stavanger's artificial pitch his team's secret weapon. The first half on 13 October seemed to back that up: the Norwegians opened the scoring in the second minute from a corner, and by the 38th minute they were leading 2-0. After the break the Germans scored three times, but deep into stoppage time Herman Haugen headed in a cross to earn a draw - 3-3. It was the first time the Norwegians had avoided defeat in the league phase of the Champions League. In the Eliteserien, Viking cannot afford to drop points: Bodø/Glimt are level with them on 53. The two sides also share the same number of wins - 17 - and an identical goal difference of 56-20. On 30 October the two leaders meet in Bodø.

Fredrikstad Team Overview
In their last league match, Fredrikstad drew 1-1 with Tromsø in the Eliteserien. They were behind at half-time but avoided defeat, having had 26 shots to their opponents' 11.
Fredrikstad's last three Eliteserien matches have all ended 1-1, though on 11 October against Tromsø they had every chance to take all three points. Tromsø went ahead on 27 minutes with a long-range strike, then had a man sent off with a straight red card shortly after half-time. Fredrik Holme levelled on 68 minutes with a header from a corner. In stoppage time, Johannes Nunez failed to beat the goalkeeper from close range, and then hit the crossbar before the final whistle. On the eve of the Tromsø match, defender Simen Rafn said: "I expect us to keep taking new steps forward." For now, those steps are small under Kasper Røkjer: Fredrikstad sit eighth with 29 points, level with seventh-placed Brann.

⭐ Editor's Prediction
Viking have scored in 22 consecutive home matches across all competitions. That is a difficult attack for the visitors to contain: in the Eliteserien, Fredrikstad have conceded in 11 of their last 12 away matches. That said, the visitors themselves have scored in nine consecutive matches. Fredrikstad will have their chances: at Stavanger, Viking have kept just one clean sheet in their last eight home matches against opponents. Neither side will go without a goal on Saturday. The bet is Both Teams to Score - Yes. Predicted score: 2-1.
