Sandefjord vs Viking Prediction and Betting Tips | August 10th 2025

Sandefjord and Viking bring round 17 of the Norwegian Eliteserien to an end when they lock horns at Komplett Arena on Sunday. Having lost the last five meetings between the two teams, Andreas Tegstrom’s men will head into the weekend looking to get one over the visitors and maintain their 100% home record in the league.

Sandefjord were sent crashing back to earth last Sunday as they fell to a 2-1 defeat against Valerenga when the two sides met at Intility Arena.

Before that, Tegstrom’s side picked up consecutive victories for the first time since May, seeing off Kristiansund and Sarpsborg while scoring nine goals and conceding twice.

Sandefjord have picked up 27 points from their 16 Eliteserien matches so far to sit sixth in the standings, six points off the UEFA Conference League qualification spot.

Meanwhile, Viking’s dreams of securing European football suffered a crushing blow last time out as they fell to a 3-1 loss against Turkish outfit Istanbul Basaksehir in the first leg of their third qualifying round clash on home turf.

Morten Jensen’s men now turn their focus to the Eliteserien, where they snapped their run of two consecutive defeats on July 27 courtesy of a 3-1 victory over Bryne.

Viking have picked up 39 points from their 18 league matches so far to sit second in the table, only below first-placed Bodo/Glimt on goal difference.
