Match Preview

The model favours Viking to win against Aalesund, projecting a scoreline of 2-1. Viking currently sits in second place in the Eliteserien standings, having accumulated 27 points from 11 matches with an impressive record of nine wins and only two losses. Their scoring capability is notable, having netted 29 goals while conceding just 11, which highlights their strong goal difference of 18. Viking's recent form includes three wins in their last five matches, demonstrating their consistency and ability to secure points. On the other hand, Aalesund is positioned 12th with only 12 points from 12 matches, reflecting a challenging season thus far. With two wins, six draws, and four losses, their goal difference of -5 indicates that they have struggled to both score and defend effectively, having scored 17 goals and conceded 22. Aalesund has shown some improvement recently, going unbeaten in their last five matches with two wins and three draws, but they still face significant challenges against a top-performing opponent. The model indicates a win probability of 65% for Viking, with Aalesund at 15% and a 20% chance for a draw. However, it is important to note that Aalesund's recent unbeaten form could pose a potential risk for Viking, as they may be building momentum. The full method used for this prediction is detailed in the "How We Reached This Prediction" section, developed by The Daily Punt Analysis Team, which utilizes an in-house model based on expected goals and actual results throughout the season.

The Daily Punt Analysis Team

Data-driven football predictions and betting tips

This forecast was built by the The Daily Punt Analysis Team using our in-house statistical model. We feed the model two layers of data for every fixture: each team's recent expected goals (xG and xGA) and their actual goals scored and conceded, split by home and away venue. The numbers run through a Poisson distribution that produces a probability for every possible scoreline, which we then convert into fair odds for the 1X2, correct score, BTTS, and over/under markets.

Before publishing, we cross-check our fair odds against the prices the major bookmakers are offering. Where a bookmaker is paying out more than our model says is mathematically fair, we flag that market as a value bet on this page.
