Sarpsborg have struggled with home form and momentum, making it hard for them to secure wins at Sarpsborg Stadion. In contrast, Viking are currently the most in-form team in Norway's Eliteserien. With this momentum and recent performance, there's strong value in betting on Viking to win the upcoming match, with odds of 1.8 recommended for a 2-unit stake. The key recommendation: back Viking for a likely victory.

Sarpsborg vs Viking Preview


Sarpsborg are in patchy form and have struggled against the Eliteserien’s top sides at home. Viking are top of the table, in excellent form and the Dark Blues are tipped to win here. 

Viking on a 9 Match Winning Streak


  • Sarpsborg have lost 4 of their last 7 Eliteserien games.
  • Sarpsborg have lost 5 of their last 6 Eliteserien home matches against Viking.
  • Viking have won 9 consecutive games in the Eliteserien.

H2H - Viking Advantage


Viking have a 14-7 advantage against Sarpsborg alongside seven draws. 

Sarpsborg Are Inconsistent 


Even Sel’s Sarpsborg are mid-table in the 2026 Eliteserien. They have struggled to challenge the European spots after failing to win eight of their last 11 league fixtures. 

The Blue Hounds lost 3-2 at Valerenga before sealing back-to-back 2-1 wins against Molde and Brann 

Sarpsborg lost their only mid-season friendly at Lillestrom 3-1. Sel’s side conceded three first-half goals and Victor Emanuel Halvorsen scored a consolation.

Viking Are in Excellent Eliteserien Form


Viking are top of the Eliteserien table and have a two-point advantage over second-placed Tromso. The Dark Blues have won nine of their opening 10 games of the 2026 campaign. 

The south-western team are on a nine-match winning streak and have secured four away victories. Viking beat Kristiansund 2-1 away before the summer break and had 1.2-0.71 XG. 

Bjarte Lunde Aarsheim’s outfit played out a 1-1 friendly draw with Sonderjyske last time out. Peter Christiansen scored in the fifth minute and Viking conceded later in the first period.
