Sandefjord - Viking

Sandefjord enter this matchday 20 fixture looking to build on a resilient defensive display in their recent goalless draw against Brann. Their campaign has been marked by a mix of results, including a hard-fought victory over Sarpsborg 08 in mid-August. Meanwhile, Viking arrive at Jotun Arena carrying significant momentum across multiple competitions. Their recent form has been impressive, highlighted by a steady string of league victories and a successful qualification tie against Dinamo Zagreb. With the expected XI featuring the likes of Zlatko Tripic and Peter Christiansen, the visitors aim to maintain their push at the top end of the table.

The two sides last met on 18 July 2026, when Viking secured a 2-1 win in a closely contested Eliteserien match. As Sandefjord prepare to host this rematch, they will look to disrupt Viking’s rhythm and claim a vital result. Whether the home side can overcome their recent struggles against these opponents remains the central question of the evening.
