Viking are 1 point behind Eliteserien leaders Tromso with a game in hand after scoring 19 goals in 7 matches
- Viking FK have won 6 of their 7 Eliteserien games this season, scoring 19 goals (2.7 per match) and conceding just 6, and trail leaders Tromso by only 1 point (18 vs 19).
- Viking have played one fewer game than Tromso, giving them a game in hand — and Tromso's lead has shrunk from 4 points to 1 in the space of one round after their 0-5 home collapse.
- The Tromso 0-5 loss was covered in the Apr 30 edition; the Viking surge to within 1 point with a game in hand is a fresh, novel angle on the title race.
