Eliteserien Betting Preview: Viking vs Rosenborg

Viking host Rosenborg at Lyse Arena, with kick-off set for 12:00 on Friday 1 May.

Backing Viking -1.25 at odds of -119 means we’ll benefit if the favourites win by two or more goals against Rosenborg. If they only triumph by one goal, then half our stake will be returned on the Asian Handicap.
