IK Start host Viking at Sparebanken Soer Arena, Kristiansand on Saturday, Aug 1 at 6:00 PM in the Eliteserien.
IK Start come into this fixture struggling badly (1W 3L in last 5). Viking, meanwhile, arrive in red-hot form (5W from last 5) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks. IK Start head into this on the back of a defeat, while Viking arrive off a win — momentum clearly with the visitors.
Head-to-head records offer little separation — IK Start and Viking have split their 10 meetings almost evenly (3W–4D–3W). Their last encounter ended in IK Start won 3–6. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 6.2 per game in recent meetings.
Verdict: Viking's quality should tell even on the road. IK Start will push, but the visitors have too much class. Viking to win.
