The team has scored 16 goals at home this season but has also conceded the same number. In the last five matches, the team has seen a mix of wins and losses, indicating that their form might be somewhat erratic.

Sarpsborg's formation appears to be adjusted to compensate for their defensive weaknesses, with the 4-2-3-1 setup used in 16 matches this season. Viking, on the other hand, seems to stick with a very successful 4-1-4-1 formation that has provided them with stability.
Going into this match, Sarpsborg 08 will be keen to improve their home form, while Viking will strive to extend their points-winning streak. The match at Sarpsborg Stadion will undoubtedly be an exciting showdown for the fans.
