Player to Watch: Peter Christiansen (Viking FK)

Peter Christiansen has been Viking's leading attacking threat this season, scoring six league goals while consistently stretching opposition defences with his intelligent movement inside the penalty area.

With Viking creating plenty of chances and Aalesund struggling defensively after conceding 28 league goals, Christiansen will fancy his chances of adding to his tally and playing a decisive role in another important victory.
