After our recent run of four consecutive winning bets came to a halt due to a surprisingly low-scoring affair at Villa Park on Saturday, attention now shifts to Sunday’s fixture in the Norwegian Eliteserien for the latest Football Bet of the Day. This time around, I’ve zeroed in on a match that promises goals.
⚽ Viking vs Sarpsborg 08
🇳🇴 Norwegian Eliteserien
🕒 Sunday, May 4 | 16:00
Eliteserien table-toppers Viking welcome sixth-placed Sarpsborg to Stavanger in what looks set to be an entertaining clash filled with attacking intent.
Viking currently lead the division having netted an impressive 21 goals in just six matches—more than any other side so far. A significant 15 of those goals (71%) have come in front of their home fans. Remarkably, they’ve scored in every match this season and have hit three or more goals in five straight games. With that kind of form, they’ll be confident of adding to their tally against a vulnerable Sarpsborg defence that has conceded five times over their last three games and is yet to register a clean sheet in that stretch.
Sarpsborg, meanwhile, have scored eight goals from their opening four matches, with five of them (63%) coming on the road. They, too, have shown consistency in front of goal, having scored in all four outings and bagging multiple goals in 75% of those matches. Given that Viking have failed to keep a single clean sheet and have allowed 12 goals so far, Sarpsborg will fancy their chances of getting on the scoresheet once again.
💡 Bet of the Day:
All of Viking’s first six games this season have seen Over 3.5 Goals land, averaging a huge 5.5 goals per match. Sarpsborg have also seen Over 3.5 Goals in each of their last two fixtures. With both teams favouring attacking football and questions lingering over their defensive solidity, this game has all the makings of another high-scoring affair.
✅ Selection: Over 3.5 Goals
💰 Odds: 21/20 (BoyleSports)
