Player Prop Picks

Top Pick: Kristoffer Askildsen to Score +390 BetMGM logo

Kristoffer Askildsen (Viking) has racked up two goals in his past five Eliteserien matches. We think there’s value in backing him for an Anytime Goalscorer prop bet at +390 which will hopefully see him find the net.

Corners Prediction

Viking Under 6.5 Corners -152 BetMGM logo

In their past four home matches, Viking have not covered the 6.5 corners line, while the last four Molde games have involved them conceding under 6.5 corners. It looks a logical viewpoint that the Team Corners line won’t be reached and you can land a price of -152 for this Viking wager.
