Viking should not be underestimated by Aston Villa when the sides meet on Wednesday, with the Norwegians capable of coming away with a result.
That’s the view of Lars Magnus Roys, a journalist for TV 2 Sport. Lars studied and lived in England during the 2010s, but returned to Norway in recent years, where he has witnessed Viking's rise firsthand.
Speaking exclusively to The Holte Roar, Lars provided the insight track on Villa’s Champions League opponent, discussed which player could pose problems, and detailed the strange dynamic behind the Viking’s coaching unit.
