Bookmaker Ratings prediction two: Over 2.5 goals – 1.56
Bookmaker Ratings prediction three: Viking 0/-0.5 goals handicap – 1.68
Viking to Win
There is a 50% possibility for a Viking win as they won five of their last ten matches. Haugesund meanwhile have one win in nine home games and lost all of their four matches against the top six teams.
Over 2.5 Goals
In 60% of Haugesund’s home fixtures in the Eliteserien, there were over 2.5 goals scored. Likewise, the same number of goals were scored in Viking’s 60% of their away games. In addition, two or more goals were scored in four of the last five h2h games.
Viking 0/-0.5 Goals Handicap
Playing on the road, Viking won two and drew one of their five games covering the handicaps in all games. On the other hand, Haugesund lost three and drew one of their six home fixtures in the league.
After gaining promotion to the ELiteserien in the 2008/9 season, Haugesund were never relegated. However, the Seagulls’ current status in the league is worrying with nine points and just two points above the relegation zone, and one game more played than 15th placed Jerv.
Despite the fact that Haugesund are undefeated in three games, they picked up three points in their last four games. Obviously, manager Jostein Grindhaug needs to find a new strategy so that his team will perform better, especially in defense where they let in two goals per game this season.
Viking on their part are suffering to find a victory in their last four league fixtures, drawing and losing twice each. That comes after a very promising start to the season by the Dark Blues winning six of their opening eight fixtures.
Being one of Norway’s most successful clubs and winners of eight top division titles, coach Aarsheim’s team is expected to bounce back though. With 22 goals scored this season, Viking have the second-best attack and with some defensive adjustments, Aarsheim’s men can be back on winning ways.
At the end of the day, there will be a time when the winless streak will be broken by Viking and we think it will be in Haugesund. Surely, the Dark Blues are a big club and can overcome these kinds of difficulties to stay in contention with the top two positions.
In the last three meetings between Haugesund and Viking, there were goals at both ends. In addition, there is a 70% chance that both teams will score in this match. Thus with odds of 3.19 at Vbet, we will pick the combo bet of Viking win and BTTS yes as our quick profit choice.
For Haugesund, forward player Sondre Liseth is out till early June with an unknown injury.
On the other side, Viking forward Zlatko Tripic is doubtful with a groin injury and midfielder Sondre Auklend will miss playing with his team until August due to a foot injury.
