Week 7 brings us a match on May 22nd where Tromsø and Viking will play a match in Tromso in a Eliteserien match. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 8 degrees, which will make playing unpleasant. 9th placed Tromsø is fresh off their 1-1 draw against Bodø / Glimt. Niclas Vesterlund struck first for Tromsø in the 54th minute, but Joel Mvuka got the equalizer for Bodø / Glimt in the 3rd minute of the second half’s stoppage time earning Bodø / Glimt at least a draw. Tromsø is looking for direction having earned 12 points in their last 10 matches, while viking is fresh off their 3-0 shutout win against Jerv. Veton Berisha struck first for Viking in the 72nd minute on a penalty kick, then Brekalo added another in the 84th minute At the end of 90 a dissapointed Jerv couldn’t manage to score, and Viking took the shutout win. Viking should be reasonably happy with their recent performance, earning 21 points in their last 10 matches.
This will be the first match for these two teams against eachother this season. Last season these teams were evenly matched with 1 win each.
Veton Berisha has been on a hot streak lately. In the last five games, the attacker has scored six goals for Viking. Jostein Maurstad Gundersen has been the most effective weapon for Tromsø lately. The Norwegian defender has netted two goals in his last five matches.
