Start – Viking

In 2 meetings between Start and Viking, Viking have been the more successful side, winning 2 to 0 with 0 draws along the way. The record leans firmly in one direction, but in a rivalry like this one head-to-head form rarely tells the full story once the game kicks off. On the scoring front the fixture averages 6 goals a game. Three or more have arrived in 100% of meetings, while both sides got on the scoresheet in 50%, a useful pointer for anyone weighing up how the next instalment might unfold. Venue has shaped plenty of these results. Start read 0-0-1 at home against this side, whereas Viking sit on 1-0-0 on their own turf, a split that is worth keeping in mind before the teams line up again. Current form reads clearly enough: Start have 2 wins in their last 5, scoring 1.2 each time out, and Viking have 3 from 5, netting 2.4 on average. Momentum like that can quickly override what the historical numbers suggest. Taken together, the split works out at roughly 0% for Start, 0% drawn and 100% for Viking. It is the kind of record that rewards the favourite more often than not, without ever making the outcome a certainty. Most recently, on 01.08.2026, Start and Viking served up a 0–3 result, the newest entry in this head-to-head. Until the sides are paired again, that match remains the latest word in a long-running rivalry.
