THE TEAM NEWS
VIKING
- The co-head coaches of Viking, Bjarte Lunde Aarsheim and Morten Jensen, will be relatively pleaded with their progress this season as Viking have won five of their opening nine matches this season.
- Norwegian international Veton Berisha has been responsible for five of their 16 goals remains top scorer for the side.
- They will be without Zlatko Tripic, Kristoffer Lokberg and Sondre Bjorshol due to injuries for all three players which could cause an issue for Aarsheim and Jensen.
STABAEK
- Just one victory in their opening eight matches means that Stabaek come into this towards the bottom-of-the-table in a disappointing campaign so far for the visitors.
- Stabaek will be without Luc Kassi due to his ACL injury which will frustrate the manager Jan Jonsson.
- The impressive form of Oliver Edvardsen last season has not continued into this campaign with the Norwegian striker having only notched just one goal in his four matches so far this season.
THE PREDICTION
This is a match between one team pushing towards the top-of-the-table and one risking relegation at such an early stage to this season. Viking will come into this as the favourites regardless of their inconsistency in this campaign so far. Stabaek have collected just one point in four matches on the road in this season.
