Viking and Fredrikstad meet often enough to count, and in the last six meetings Viking have won four, but this time the context is different. Viking are chasing the top of the table from 2nd place, while Fredrikstad sit mid-table and have picked up just one point from their recent matches. Viking come in with their attack firing on all cylinders, winning 4 of their last 5 and thrashing their opponents 8-1 in their most recent league match. Fredrikstad, meanwhile, have not found a league win in 4 straight, drawing 1-1 in their last three, with a blunt attack scoring just one goal per game. This game is likely to be Viking who have to open up and attack, because Fredrikstad have no reason to trade blows and will probably sit deep and wait for counter-attacking chances. If Viking can hold the ball for long spells and break through the defence early, the game will flow one way, but if it drags into the second half, Fredrikstad might get a chance from a single moment.
