This Eliteserien match was contested fiercely by Viking FK and Fredrikstad FK on 21st April 2024, with both teams securing a point in a 1-1 draw. The first goal was by Fredrikstad FK in 7 minutes 21 seconds, followed by equalizer from Viking FK at 33 minutes 13 seconds into the matchup. Both goals came in the first half and remained the only goals of the game.

Early opener by Fredrikstad seemed to inject some urgency into Viking's play, leveling the game in the 33rd minute. Despite a high number of yellow cards, five to be exact, Fredrikstad managed to keep their concentration and matched their hosts in goal scoring. Remarkably, all of these cautions took place at high-stress moments as the first was issued at 17 minutes 51 seconds, the second followed shortly after Viking FK’s equalizing goal at 32 minutes 24 seconds, and the third at 42 minutes 19 seconds – just before halftime. This is indicative of the intense pressure Viking was applying, which eventually resulted in numerous fouls from Fredrikstad. Furthermore, the last two yellow cards, which were issued in the second half, showed an ongoing struggle with discipline from the Away team.

One notable statistic is the corner kicks, where Viking FK had a slight edge. They secured 4 corner kicks as compared to 3 by Fredrikstad FK, suggesting a slightly more offensive approach by the home team. However, this advantage in set-piece scenarios didn't translate into a clear win for the home team. The teams were evenly matched in most factors except in terms of fair play. Viking FK did not receive any yellow card in this match up, showing a better composure and discipline in contrast to Fredrikstad FK's 5 yellow cards.

In conclusion, while both teams had their shining moments and managed to put one in the back of the net, the standout statistical trend in this game is the high number of yellow cards received by Fredrikstad FK. Their struggle with discipline did not, however, inhibit them from maintaining the draw. On the other hand, the home team, who did well in maintaining discipline & exercising a slightly more aggressive offensive strategy, will feel that they could have translated the opportunities into a victory. The final score of 1-1, therefore, seems a fair representation of how closely these teams matched each other on the field, despite contrasting patterns of discipline. This analysis should aid the bettors in the prediction of future matches.
