- Aalesunds FK are 14th in the standings of the Eliteserien 2026 with 12 points from their opening 13 games.
- Kjetil Rekdal has done a good job since he came in as coach in July 2024 of keeping Aalesund compact and pragmatic.
- The side is built around a deep block with wing-backs, and they try to win the ball back and strike in transition.

Prediction
We like Viking to edge this one on the overall form and league positions, but Aalesund's shock win over Viking in the cup in April tells us this could be an away trip fraught with danger for the second-placed side.
