In this week 30 match, on Sunday Dec 12th, Tromsø hosts Viking in a meeting of these two Eliteserien teams. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy and cold day, with daytime temperatures of only -6 degrees, making for an unpleasant day. In their last match, 12th placed Tromsø, recorded a 1-0 shutout win against Sarpsborg 08. Mikkelsen scored the first goal for Tromsø in the 33rd minute, and that was all the excitement the two teams could muster In the end, Sarpsborg 08 was frustrated by Tromsø’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Tromsø ended the match with the shutout victory. With 19 points in their last 10 matches Tromsø should be reasonably happy with their performance, while viking sits at 3rd place in the tables. In their last match they recorded a 3-1 win against Odd. Filip Ronningen Jorgensen scored the first goal for Odd in the 3rd minute, then in the 1st minute of the first half’s stoppage time, Shayne Pattynama sent in a beautiful pass which was converted by Sebastian Sebulonsen But fortunately they were able to complete the comaback victory in the 58th minute on a penalty goal by Veton Berisha. Viking looks to continue their winning ways, having won 7 of their last 10.
