Viking face Sabah FK at SR-Bank Arena, Stavanger on Wednesday, Nov 4 at 9:00 PM in a basement battle that neither side can afford to lose. Both clubs are deep in the relegation picture in the League Stage, and defeat here could prove costly come the end of the season.

Viking come into this fixture in mixed form (0W 1D 1L). Sabah FK, meanwhile, arrive out of form (1W 2L recently) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.

Verdict: Little separates these two on form or history. Home advantage could be the deciding factor — a narrow Viking win or a draw looks most likely.
