Viking vs Haugesund prediction 30.04.2025 | Eiteserien

• Competition: Eliteserien
• Date: Wednesday, 30th April 2025
• Kickoff: 17:00 UK / 18:00 CEST
• Venue: Lyse Arena (Stavanger)

Last season, Viking finished in a very good third position. This year's start promises another good season as the team from Stavanger collected ten points from the first five matches. Viking opened the season with a defeat against Valerenga, but since then, they haven't lost. For the weekend, Bjarte Lunde Aarsheim's team played 4-4 at the home stadium against Tromso. In what is likely to be the game of the season, Viking scored two goals in the second half's stoppage time for a 4-3 lead and had the perfect opportunity for another victory, but the guests had enough time for an equalizer. 

Haugesund barely avoided relegation last season, and it seems that they will have another tough year. So far, Haugesund have only one point after four matches. After three consecutive defeats, Sancheev Manoharan's team played 0-0 at home against Fredrikstad on Sunday. The guests were the favorites to win, but the teams were fairly even most of the match, and splitting points was the fairest outcome. Now, Haugesund will travel to Stavanger, where they will have another tough game, this time against Viking. 

Viking vs Haugesund pick: Both teams to score - yes

Viking are the main reason for this bet. Although they are one of the best teams in Norway in 2025, they are, at the same time, the best attacking and the worst defensive team in the Eliteserien with a 16:11 goal difference. We should expect goals on both sides on Wednesday evening in Stavanger.
