Viking are sitting top of the table and have found their rhythm.

β Editorial Prediction
Both sides enter this fixture with contrasting momentum, but the stats point towards a low-scoring affair whenever these teams meet. Kristiansund tend to play cautiously at home, as shown by their consistent run of matches finishing under 3.5 total goals. Viking, meanwhile, are enjoying a strong season, yet even the league leaders have failed to score more than two goals in each of their last six away games. The trends from both camps suggest a match unlikely to feature high scoring or a flurry of goals. Prediction - under 3.5 total goals.
