Sandefjord provide the opposition in Stavanger and the fourth from bottom club will have to be at their best to get anything out of this game.

Viking & Under 2.5 Goals
Viking have won three of their last five games against Sandefjord, all of which have arrived at the SR-Bank Arena in Stavanger. Two of those three home wins against Sandefjord produced under 2.5 goals and we're expecting another low-scoring clash this weekend. Under 2.5 goals have also been produced in three of Viking's last six matches, while Sandefjord have lost three of their last four outings in the league.
Both Teams to Score – No
We're not expecting both teams to score on Sunday and believe that Viking will keep a clean sheet on their way to securing all 3pts. Only two of the last five meetings between these two clubs have seen both teams score, while Viking have kept clean sheets in two of their last three home games and Sandefjord failed to score in a recent away game against Rosenborg.

Viking backed to beat struggling Sandefjord
Viking made the trip to Stromsgodset before the international break, falling behind in the 22nd minute. A penalty from Berisha got Viking back onto level terms before the break but early in the second half, Stromsgodset restored their one-goal advantage. The hosts were awarded a penalty in the 57th minute which Stengel converted and despite Berisha pulling a goal back for Viking in the 71st minute, the visitors failed to carve out an equaliser and lost the game 3-2.
Viking Predicted Lineup: Gunnarsson, Bjørshol, Brekalo, Friðjónsson, Sandberg, Tangen, Stensness, Solbakken, Berisha, de Lanlay & Sebulonsen
Sandefjord would have been expecting a tough 90-minute away at Odd last time out and not many would have predicted an away win in that game. However, a goal for Boya in the 16th minute after good work from Smeulers proved enough for Sandefjord to secure a much-needed victory.
Sandefjord Predicted Lineup: Storevik, Smeulers, Jansen, Taaje, Slørdahl, Singh, Ofkir, Boya, Nilsson, Tveter & Nyenetue
Team News
Viking: Zlatko Tripic and Sondre Auklend could both miss out this weekend due to injury.
