On Oct 23rd, Jerv will play host to Viking in a meeting of these two Eliteserien teams. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 11 degrees, which should make for a nice day for football. In their last match, 16th placed Jerv, recorded a 0-1 loss against Aalesund. Simen Nordli scored the first goal for Aalesund in the 45th minute, and that was all the excitement the two teams could muster In the end, Jerv couldn’t muster any offence and Aalesund ran away with the shutout win. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having lost 8 of their last 10, while viking is fresh off their 0-1 loss against Sarpsborg 08. Tobias Heintz struck first for Sarpsborg 08 in the 40th minute on a feed from Mikkel Maigaard, and that single goal was all that was necessary as neither team could manage any more scoring In the end, Viking was frustrated by Sarpsborg 08’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Sarpsborg 08 ended the match with the shutout victory. Viking looks to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 5 points in their last 10 matches.
Jerv and Viking last played eachother at the Sr-bank Arena on the 16th of May. Viking won by a score of 3 to 0. Veton Berisha scored the first goal for Viking in the 72nd minute on a penalty kick, then David Brekalo added another in the 84th minute on a feed from Kevin Kabran At the end of 90 a dissapointed Jerv couldn’t manage to score, and Viking took the shutout win.
Sander Svendsen and Kristoffer Lokberg are the top scorers for Viking in the last five matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats. Erik Brenden has been the most prolific scorer on Jerv in the last 5 matches with two goals.
