General match analysis
Viking are second in the standings and remain perfect at home, having won 100% of their home matches while averaging 3.57 goals per game. Aalesund win only 14% of their away matches, concede an average of 2.14 goals and have kept no clean sheets. The hosts create significantly more high-quality chances, as reflected by an xG of 1.92 compared with Aalesund’s 1.27, while also averaging 7.14 shots on target versus their opponents’ 3.57. Viking’s defence is not flawless, allowing opponents an xG of 1.25 and conceding 1.14 goals at home, but Aalesund’s poor away conversion rate of 8% limits their chances. Although the visitors have scored 22 goals across their last five matches overall, their season record of 2 wins, 9 draws and 6 defeats, combined with Viking’s home advantage, points to a home win.
View the statistical overviewBTTS - will both teams score?
The signal for both teams to score is very strong: Viking have recorded BTTS in 100% of their league matches, while Aalesund have done so in 71%, compared with the league average of 56%. Neither team has kept a single clean sheet, with Viking conceding an average of 2.6 goals per match and Aalesund 2.14. In their last five matches, BTTS occurred for both teams in 80% of cases, while Aalesund scored as many as 4.4 goals per match despite conceding 2.6. Viking’s attack at home creates an average of 1.91 xG and registers 5.8 shots on target, while Aalesund have posted 1.90 xG recently, significantly increasing the visitors’ chances of scoring. The BTTS scenario is more likely because both defences regularly allow opponents quality chances, and each team has demonstrated a proven goalscoring ability.
View BTTS statisticsOver/Under - goals analysis
Viking averages 1.91 xG and 18.1 shots per match, while Aalesund allows opponents 2.09 xG, which clearly supports at least two goals for the hosts. Neither team has kept a clean sheet, while Viking has scored in every match and Aalesund has conceded in 100% of its games. The 1.5 line has been exceeded in 100% of Viking’s matches and 86% of Aalesund’s. Additionally, across their last five appearances, the teams averaged 3.0 and 7.0 total goals per match, respectively, so Over 1.5 goals has by far the strongest statistical backing.
View Over/Under statisticsHT/FT - half-time and full-time scenario
The strongest scenario is a draw at half-time followed by a Viking win, as the hosts were level after 45 minutes in 6 of their 10 home matches. Viking create significantly more chances: their average xG is 1.91 compared with Aalesund’s 1.27, while their average number of shots is 18.1 versus 12.29 for their opponents. After the break, Aalesund lost 71% of their matches, scored just 0.57 goals per second half, and conceded an average of 1.29. The hosts also have defensive problems, conceding 2.6 goals per match and failing to keep a clean sheet, which is why a draw at half-time remains more likely than an early Viking lead. However, the superior quality of chances created and Aalesund’s weakness after the break point to the match turning in Viking’s favour in the closing stages.
