FCSB vs Viking FK Prediction
Viking are obviously the favorites given their squad profile and depth. They also have the advantage of operating in a stronger league in Norway.
Viking have had a tougher run so far between the two teams as they had to overcome the threat of Sparta Prague in the second round of qualifying, which they did after securing a draw in Czech Republic.
The hosts will be looking to conjure some kind of miracle in the home leg to have any chance of pulling off an upset in this tie. They will have an enormous task of dealing with their rivals' attacking options of Karlsbakk and Zlatko Tripić.
Viking will be aiming to take the lead back to Norway and essentially replicate what they did in their first-leg encounter against Sligo Rovers, whom they beat 5-1 in Norway.
The visitors are strong favorites to win the tie and we expect them to do so by a big margin.
Prediction: FCSB 1-4 Viking
