Cup and European games. A domestic cup: sides rotate, and the two can come from different divisions. Viking FK in their last cup games: won 3-0 at Madla (3 divisions below), won 3-1 at Brodd (3 divisions below). Too few cup games to judge the side from.
So. A close match: the safest pick that fits.
