Viking vs Sarpsborg 08 FF
📖 The Preview
Viking look the class act here and that 3-0 tells you everything about how lopsided this one could get. They're second in the table and chasing a title, so the motivation is sky high, and their recent form backs it up with eight wins from their last ten. Sarpsborg have been decent enough but they're missing Carstensen, Reinhardsen and Rosted through injury, which really hurts their cohesion. Viking at home with something serious to play for against a depleted visiting side — the clean sheet makes perfect sense.
