Welcome to our Stromsgodset vs Viking prediction, where we break down the numbers, the stories, and the stats ahead of this Eliteserien fixture. As the league leaders Viking travel to Drammen to face a struggling Stromsgodset on November 2, 2025, at 13:30 GMT, fans and punters alike are eager to see if the underdogs can pull off a surprise or if the favorites will keep marching towards the title.
Let’s not sugarcoat it: Stromsgodset’s season has been a rollercoaster, and not the fun kind. Sitting 15th out of 16 in the Eliteserien, they’re fighting tooth and nail to avoid relegation. With just 6 wins, 2 draws, and a whopping 18 losses in 26 matches, their win rate hovers at a modest 23%. The defense has been especially leaky, conceding a league-high 54 goals—enough to make any goalkeeper lose sleep.
Recent form hasn’t been much kinder. Stromsgodset have managed only one win in their last five matches, and they’ve failed to secure a victory in their last three home games. Injuries haven’t helped either, with key players like Elias Hoff Melkersen, Jostein Ekeland, and Eirik Ulland Andersen sidelined. Coach Jørgen Isnes will likely set up his side to defend deep and hope to catch Viking on the break, but it’s a tall order against the league’s most potent attack.
On the other side, Viking are enjoying a dream campaign. Sitting comfortably at the top with 59 points, they’ve won four of their last five league matches and have lost just three times in 25 games. Their attacking stats are impressive: 61 goals scored, the best in the league, and an 88% unbeaten rate over their last 40 league fixtures. Even without Yann-Erik de Lanlay, Viking’s squad depth and attacking flair—guided by Bjarte Lunde Aarsheim and Morten Jensen—make them a daunting opponent.
If you’re looking for a glimmer of hope for the hosts, remember their shock 0:0 draw at Brann earlier this season, when few gave them a chance. But Viking have also shown they can win tough away games, like their 4:2 triumph at Bodo/Glimt.
The bookmakers aren’t giving Stromsgodset much of a chance, with home win odds at 4.85, a draw at 4.45, and a Viking victory at a short 1.6. Our AI model, after crunching the numbers, strongly favors the away side and expects goals—lots of them.
In summary, our Stromsgodset vs Viking prediction points to a comfortable away win, with plenty of action in front of goal. While football is full of surprises, the stats, form, and betting odds all suggest Viking will continue their title charge in style. For fans of goals and drama, this is one to watch—and for punters, over 2.5 goals looks like the smart play.
