Viking FK vs FCSB Prediction
The hosts went into the first leg as overwhelming favorites but were handed an early shock in the third minute of the game when Flor Coman got FCSB ahead. However, they responded quickly to level the scores before Sondre Bjorshol got them the winner.
FCSB's failure to hold on for a draw may prove quite costly as they visit Norway for the second leg. Viking possess the better squad and will be a threat on the counter.
FCSB may have no other alternative but to attack, which may leave them rather vulnerable at the back, something that was obvious in the first leg.
Viking are odds-on favorites to secure the tie and book their place in the Europa Conference League group stages.
Prediction: Viking 3-1 FCSB
