Thanks to a largely healthy group, there’s just the one fitness worry for the Hamarkameratene boss Jakob Michelsen to contend with. Halvor Rødølen Opsahl (unknown injury) won’t be playing here. John Olav Norheim cannot play in this game through suspension.

We’re of the thinking that Kamma could decide to make use of a 3-5-2 lineup, choosing Marcus Sandberg, B. Ingi Bjarnason, Luc Mares, Samuel Rogers, Snorre Nilsen, Tore Andre Soeraas, W. Albin Kurtovic, Niklas Oedegaard, Vegard Kongsro, Moses Mawa and P. A. Kirkevold.
