Viking SabahNo absentees
Viking welcome Sabah to the SR-Bank Arena on Wednesday night, and our Viking vs Sabah predictions lean towards a home win in a Champions League game that should not be short of goals. Kick-off is 8.00pm (UK time).
Viking sit 33rd in the 36-team league phase with a single point, but they are strong favourites at home, where they held Bayern Munchen to a 3-3 draw earlier in the campaign. Sabah are 25th on three points.
bet365 make Viking 4/9 to win, with the draw 4/1 and Sabah out at 5/1. Every Viking game so far has featured at least four goals, so the over markets catch the eye.
Premium Tips
Anthony Eadson expects goals at the SR-Bank Arena and has landed on two bets to suit.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Erik Botheim to score anytime | 5/4 (Paddy Power) | Erik Botheim leads the Viking line and should fancy his chances against a Sabah side that shipped four at Manchester United on its only away trip. Viking have scored in every game this campaign, including that eye-catching 3-3 with Bayern Munchen, and at home they will look to Botheim to get on the end of the chances they create. Sabah conceded twice at home to Borussia Dortmund last time out as well. At 5/4 with Paddy Power, the striker to score anytime in a game Viking are strong favourites to win is the pick of the card. |
| Over 11.5 total corners | 5/2 (BoyleSports) | This has the makings of an open, stretched game, which should be good news for the corner count. Viking have been involved in high-scoring matches all campaign, with every one of their three games producing at least four goals, and a Sabah side chasing the game on the road is likely to commit men forward. With Viking pushing for a first win and Sabah needing something from their travels, over 11.5 total corners at 5/2 with BoyleSports is worth a go. Open games like this one tend to rack up the flag kicks at both ends. |

How Viking go into the game
Viking have a point from three games and were beaten 3-1 away at Aston Villa last time out. Before that they drew 3-3 at home with Bayern Munchen and lost 3-1 at Stuttgart, so there have been goals in their matches.
They remain unbeaten at home thanks to that draw with Bayern Munchen, and while they have scored in all three games, they have also conceded three in each of them.
How Sabah go into the game
Sabah sit 25th on three points after a mixed start. They were beaten 2-1 at home by Borussia Dortmund last time out, a result that followed a 2-0 home win over Slavia Praha and a 4-0 loss away at Manchester United.
Their one away trip ended in that 4-0 defeat at Old Trafford, where they failed to score, but both of their home games have seen them get on the scoresheet.
Viking vs Sabah head-to-head
There is no recent head-to-head to go on here, with Viking and Sabah yet to meet in a competitive fixture on record.

Viking vs Sabah score prediction
A home win with goals at both ends is the call. The hosts look the stronger side and should have too much, but their habit of conceding means Sabah may well nick one. Score prediction: Viking 2-1 Sabah.
