Norway, 4. july

After exactly halfplayed season Tromsø is still in the lead and for once there is some excitement left in the league.

Rosenborg seem to have found their rythm and secured the second spot just 2 points behind Tromsø.

Tromsø's biggest problem is they have only managed to take 4 points in all their away matches. This has to change if they want to keep Rosenborg at bay. I do believe they will act on it tomorrow and give Viking (who has been crap at home) a decent thrashing in the new Viking stadium.

I also fancy Ham-Kams chances at home against Sogndal. Sogndal up and down these days, but Ham-Kam rock solid at home.

Apart from that I think the rest of the games are too risky for play at this moment in the league.
Maybe Snowman has some more tips on the others.

Wouldnt never bet against a team under the influence of Roy Hodgson, especially not in a Scandinavian league.
Things are improving in Viking and soon he will have a fierce team. Just look at his previous results with scandinavian teams (Halmstad, FC Copenhagen). He is capable of bringing the best out in the most criticized players making them do exactly what they are best at and stay away of making the old mistakes they were used to be sticking with. Besides that he will set up a few youngsters to explode into star quality in short time. Wait and see and i think Viking will be back in the top game of the league in Norway. And this is exactly the game to prove his teams potential and he will not hesitate to try and show this, besides the victory of a top team will keep them in motivation and belief of a great season coming.

My pick is clearly Viking in this match.

Has he taken over allready?

I still think Bjarne Berntsen is in charge. Alltho I am not 100% sure what will be the takeover date for Hodgeson.

I feel that Tromsø is due an away win tho, also that I have yet to see Viking displaying the things you say. But you have point I admit.
