Confidence

Viking have a spotless home record in the league with eight wins from eight games, averaging 3.4 goals scored per match in front of their supporters. Kristiansund BK have lost seven of their ten away league fixtures, failing to keep a single clean sheet on the road. Furthermore, Viking have won each of the last six head-to-head meetings between the two clubs and all five played at home. The strong contrast in venue form and historical dominance makes a home win the most probable outcome.
