Viking vs Start: match analysis

Viking’s attack ran riot at home, overwhelming Start 6‑3 in a match that pushed the hosts further up the table to second place with 47 points from 15 wins, two draws and three defeats. The victory widened Viking’s goal difference to +31 (51‑20), while Start’s defensive frailties were starkly highlighted as they slipped to 16th with just 16 points and a –19 goal margin (22‑41). The win also cemented Viking’s dominance in the season’s head‑to‑head, having taken both encounters against Start while the visitors have yet to claim a point. Both sides now face very different challenges: Viking eyeing a top‑spot push, and Start fighting to climb out of the relegation zone.
