Aalesunds FK host Viking FK in an Eliteserien meeting, and CheckLive favour the visitors with a 67% win probability on a high-signal reading. Viking are firmly in the driving seat according to the data, but with plenty of league points at stake, there's still room for a surprise.
Aalesunds come into this with just one win in their last five – a 3-0 friendly victory over Kristiansund BK. In competitive Eliteserien matches, they lost 6-1 to Vålerenga IF, drew 2-2 with Molde FK, 2-2 with HamKam, and 1-1 with Tromsø IL. Viking have three wins from five: they beat Sandefjord Fotball 2-1, lost 1-0 to Sarpsborg 08, drew 1-1 with SønderjyskE in a friendly, then beat Kristiansund BK 2-1 and IK Start 6-3.
The head-to-head record over eight meetings shows Aalesunds with two wins, one draw, and five defeats. The last encounter was a 2-1 win for Aalesunds in the NM Cup back in March. With Viking strong favourites but Aalesunds showing resilience in recent draws, this could be a tighter contest than the probability suggests.
