Viking II has shown solid form throughout the season with a series of victories, including a spectacular 5-4 win against Sola in their last match.

Viking II's offensive play has been impressive, with an average of 2.5 goals per home game and a remarkable ability to find the net in the second quarter of the first half, where they have scored 13 of their 50 goals.

With a last-place victory against Våg, where they lost 2-5, the team has only managed to win two out of their 25 matches. Their defensive line has been under constant pressure, conceding a total of 78 goals during the season, averaging 3.1 per game.

Given the current form curves and previous meetings, Viking II is considered to have clear advantages.
