Match Preview: Viking II vs Madla in 3rd Division - Group 5
An exciting clash awaits as Viking II hosts Madla at Lyse Arena. The match in the Norwegian 3rd Division - Group 5 promises plenty of action, with both teams eager to secure three points at this stage of the season.
Viking II enters this match with a solid grip on defensive organization and a strong attack, particularly at home. Their recent form, with three wins in the last five matches, including an impressive 4-2 victory over Djerv, showcases their offensive potential. They have scored a total of 29 goals at home so far, with an average scoring rate of 2.6 goals per match.
Madla also has a respectable form with several strong results, although they recently lost 5-2 to Vindbjart. With an overall goal tally of 51 for the season, Madla averages 2.2 goals per match, suggesting they can challenge Viking II defensively.
Looking at the recent head-to-head encounters, Viking II has the upper hand over Madla. Viking II has won three of the last five meetings, including a solid 3-1 victory at SR-Bank Arena in 2023. However, both teams have had their moments, with a close 1-1 draw in their most recent encounter in March 2025.
Viking II's greatest strength lies in their attacking play in the early and closing minutes of matches, with the most goals scored between the 16th and 30th minutes, as well as the 76th to 90th minutes. Madla will be concerned about their inconsistent defense, particularly in the first 30 minutes where they often concede goals.
Both teams will have a lot to prove in this match, not least Madla, who will look to improve their away record. It remains to be seen if Viking II can maintain their form at home in Lyse Arena, where they will benefit from the home advantage.
The match is expected to be an entertaining affair with plenty of goals, given the offensive strengths of both teams. Who will come out on top remains to be seen, but the alliances in Stavanger can look forward to a match full of intensity and a desire for victory.
