Free Betting Tips for Viking vs Haugesund
If you can’t seem to decide on a bet for Viking vs Haugesund, check our top betting predictions for this duel here:
Over 1.5 Viking Goals
Our first Viking vs Haugesund prediction backs the hosts to score at least 2 goals. Viking managed to do that in 6 of the last 7 rounds and they continue to have one of the strongest forward lines in the entire league. Viking also scored 2 or more goals in 3 of the last 4 H2Hs.
Tripic to Score Anytime
Our next free betting tip stays with Viking as we back their top goalscorer Tripic (6 goals) to add another goal to his tally. Tripic scored in all of the last 3 home games. In fact, he has scored in 67% of Viking’s home matches so far. Now he will be up against a Haugesund team that failed to keep a clean sheet in 10 consecutive rounds.
BTTS
Our final Viking vs Haugesund prediction is that both teams will get on the scoresheet. All of Viking’s last 10 games had BTTS outcomes. So did all of the last 4 H2Hs. Also, Haugseund saw 4 of their last 5 league games producing BTTS outcomes.
Viking vs Haugesund Lineups and Team News
Viking
Viking beat Valerenga 2-1 away from home last weekend in a close match that the visitors edged thanks to their very good forward actions. This was the third league win in a row for Viking and they sit just a point outside the top 3 as a result. Defensively continue to have problems but going forward have been scoring goals at will all season.
Latest news
The team’s main link-up-midfielder Stensness sustained a season-ending injury recently. In his absence, Yazbek is getting more and more playing time. The attack will be boosted by the fact that both Brekalo and Bjorshol have recovered from injuries and are ready to return.
Haugesund
Haugesund pulled further away from the relegation zone thanks to a deserved 2-1 home win vs Odd. A run of back-to-back wins and a single defeat in the last 5 rounds improved the mood and the table position. The Seagulls remain very insecure on the road though and they lost 4 of their last 6 away league games (W1 D1).
Latest news
The top goalscorer Diarra (3 goals) misses this game suspended. Veteran Soderlund could start up front in his absence. Another regular starter that will be missing is wide midfielder Solheim. He is away on international duty right now. Liseth could remain out too as he only just resumed light training after a long absence. On top of all that the team’s big star in midfield Njie got hurt last weekend and he is now considered touch-and-go.
