BetGenius backs Viking or Draw (Double Chance) at 78% confidence — a strong call. Total goals: Over 2.5 Goals.
Viking travel to the Komplett Arena sitting second in the Eliteserien table with 43 points from 18 matches, just one point adrift of league leaders Bodo/Glimt. The visitors have built an impressive campaign on heavy attacking output, scoring 42 goals overall and winning 14 of their 18 league fixtures. Key creative output from Z. Tripic with 15 assists and scoring threats P. Christiansen with 9 goals and S. Kvia-Egeskog with 7 goals have driven their title pursuit.
Sandefjord find themselves in 12th place on 19 points, precariously close to the drop zone. The hosts have struggled for offensive rhythm at home, scoring only six times in nine league matches at their home ground and failing to score in five of those nine outings. In addition, injuries to D. Koswal, F. Loftesnes-Bjune, M. Melchior, and N. Moller continue to limit their squad depth.
Historical encounters between these two clubs heavily favour the visitors. Viking have won eight of the last ten head-to-head meetings, including a 2-1 victory earlier this season in July 2026. Across their last four visits to Sandefjord, Viking have remained undefeated with three wins and one draw, making them well positioned to take positive points from this clash.
Combined scoring rate: 2.3 goals per game (Sandefjord at home plus Viking away).
