Viking host IK Start at SR-Bank Arena, Stavanger on Saturday, May 16 at 4:00 PM in the Eliteserien.
Viking come into this fixture in red-hot form (5W from last 5). IK Start travel out of form (0W 2L recently), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.
Head-to-head records offer little separation — Viking and IK Start have split their 10 meetings almost evenly (3W–4D–3W). Their last encounter ended in IK Start won 4–3. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 4.4 per game in recent meetings.
Verdict: The gulf in league position makes Viking clear favorites, but IK Start have shown they can grind out results. Expect Viking to take the points, potentially without being at their best.
