Target
For the club it's important to re-establish themselves in the top tier of Norwegian football again, and whether that means a couple of edgy campaigns in the bottom half of the table then so be it. But the supporters will definitely hope they produce something similar to what Brann did when they suffered the humiliation of second tier football for a year in 2015. Unfortunately finances at the Stavanger and Bergen are still very chalk and cheese, and Viking will do ever so well to get a top half finish this season. Even that looks a bit of a stretch at the moment.
Prediction: 12th
