Viking (home team)
- Viking are heavy favorites at 1.33 to beat Bryne FK this weekend.
- The hosts are sitting pretty on 56 points from 25 games at the top of Norway’s premier division and look the most likely side to lift the title this season.
- Viking are very consistent, due in no small part to Morten Jensen’s measured approach to the game, which has kept them at the summit since 2021.
- Jensen’s men can play in a structured 4-3-3 formation, possessing the ball well when required, but are also capable of dictating a controlled tempo and using their press to pick off opponents with their movement through the half-spaces.
- They bring a great deal of attacking depth and balance, with multiple players contributing to their cause in recent weeks, into this matchup and are on a 2-game winning streak.
- Viking thrashed Brann 3-0 at home and beat Tromsø 3-1 away to maintain their momentum in the title race. This sets up the ideal scenario to consider our Viking Stavanger vs Bryne FK betting tips for the weekend clash.

Bryne FK (away team)
- Bryne FK have won only 1 of their last 5 league games, drawing 2 and losing 2.
- Bryne FK are 8.5 underdogs for Saturday’s matchup and have won only 1 of their 12 road fixtures in the Eliteserien 2025.
- The visitors are languishing just above the relegation places in 14th after taking 25 points from 25 games in 2025.
- Manager Ole Kevin Knappen has adopted a pragmatic approach to survival since taking over at Bryne in 2022.
- A compact 4-4-2 formation with a 2-striker setup is their standard operating procedure and Bryne are an honest team who are never really out of the match.
- Bryne’s away averages of 0.92 goals scored and 1.75 goals conceded per game in Eliteserien 2025 are a concern.
