Viking to Continue Their Title Charge in Sarpsborg
Viking have started the Eliteserien season in excellent form and should have too much attacking quality for a Sarpsborg side that has struggled defensively. The league leaders are backed to continue their title charge with another important away win

Our Pick: Viking FK to Win
Odds: 1.80
Analyst Confidence: 4/5
Viking head into this fixture as one of the form teams in Norway. They sit at the top end of the Eliteserien after winning 9 of their opening 10 league matches, scoring a league-high 29 goals. Their away form has also been excellent, with five wins from their last six league trips.
Sarpsborg are capable at home and have picked up some good recent results, but they've struggled defensively throughout the season, managing just one clean sheet in the league and already losing five matches. They are likely to create chances, but containing Viking's attack for 90 minutes looks a difficult task.
Viking have the stronger squad, arrive with far better momentum, and should have enough quality to edge this contest. Most analysts are also siding with an away victory, with a common predicted scoreline of 2-1 to Viking.
