Haugesund are in search of their first win after a winless streak of six games, which includes two draws and four losses. In their last game against Molde, they were defeated 2-1, and Peter Therkildsen received a red card, which has led to his suspension for the upcoming match. Currently, Haugesund are positioned 12th on the table with 20 points from 21 games, having scored 19 goals and conceded 31.

Viking's impressive 8-game winning streak was brought to a halt in their recent match, although they managed to maintain their unbeaten run. In that game, they were held to a 1-1 draw by Valerenga, with the equalizer coming in the 87th minute, just when it seemed Viking was on course for victory.
Currently, Viking occupy the second spot on the table with 45 points, which is the same as the first-placed Bodo/Glimt. They have scored 44 goals and conceded 26 in the process. Key player Zlatko Tripic, who has struggled to find the back of the net in his last two games, will be eager to regain his scoring form in this upcoming clash.
Possible starting 11
Haugesund - Amund Wichne, Kevin Martin Krygård, Anders Bærtelsen, Claus Niyukuri, Vegard Solheim, Bruno Leite, Magnus Christensen, Bilal Njie, Oscar Krusnell, Sory Ibrahim Diarra, Julius Eskesen.
Viking - Patrik Gunnarsson, Sondre Bjorshol, Djibril Diop, David Brekalo, Shayne Pattynama, Patrick Yazbek, Markus Solbakken, Joe Bell, Sander Svendsen, Lars-Jorgen Salvesen, Zlatko Tripic.
Expert Betting Tips
Haugesund certainly have the potential to score against the Viking FK side, but it is very unlikely for them to win. Viking have remained undefeated in their last 11 matches this season, showcasing their defensive resilience. Haugesund, on the other hand, has conceded two or more goals in 6 of their last 10 home matches, which suggests that Viking's attack could pose a significant challenge for them.
