Viking FK
- Viking FK have won their last four matches and four of their last five in all current competitions, including a 2-1 away win over Fredrikstad in the previous Eliteserien 2026 meeting five months ago.
- Morten Jensen's side have been a front-foot side since he took over in January 2021 and have developed into a side which presses the ball in coordinated waves and attacks fast after regaining the ball.
- They have been in scintillating form at home in Norway's top division, winning 10 of 10 games at Lyse Arena and hitting 38 goals in the process.
Fredrikstad FK
- Fredrikstad FK are in mid-table 8th in the Eliteserien 2026 standings with 28 points from 21 games.
- They have won two, drawn two and lost one of their last five in all comps, including a 1-0 win away at Stjordals-Blink in the cup and a 1-1 away league draw with Valerenga.
- The two teams employ contrasting styles, with Viking playing a narrow 4-3-3 that presses and attacks at speed, while Fredrikstad line up in flexible three-at-the-back shapes and are more patient in building through the wings.
Head-to-Head
- Viking FK are unbeaten at home in Eliteserien 2026, having won 10 from 10 and scored 38 goals in those ten matches.
- Fredrikstad FK are winless in their last two away league meetings with Viking FK in Eliteserien 2026.
