In a mid week match in week 6, on Monday May 16th, Viking hosts Jerv in a meeting of these two Eliteserien teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 11 degrees, which will be a great treat for players. Viking is fresh off their 0-0 scoreless draw against Strømsgodset. Neither Viking nor Strømsgodset could manage to put one past the goalie. They had 12 and 5 shots on net respectively, but no one could score, and the match ended in a scoreless draw,. With 19 points in their last 10 matches Viking should be reasonably happy with their performance, while in their last match, 9th placed Jerv, recorded a 1-1 draw against Tromsø. Mathias Haarup struck first for Jerv in the 30th minute, then Moses Ebiye tied it up for Tromsø in the 33rd minute earning Tromsø a comeback draw. Jerv is looking for direction having earned 12 points in their last 10 matches.
These two teams have not yet played each other this season, so it will be interesting how the match turns out.
Alves Furtado and Doguhan Simsir are the top scorers for Jerv in the last 5 matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal.. Veton Berisha has been on a hot streak lately. In the last five games, the attacker has scored 5 goals for Viking.
