ℹ️
Team News: Sarpsborg 08
Anders Hiim (Torn knee ligaments) and Niklas Sandberg (unknown injury) won’t be available for Sarpsborg 08 boss Christian Michelsen.

Team News: Bryne
Thanks to a mainly full-strength squad, there is just a single fitness worry for the Bryne boss Kevin Knappen to be concerned about. Jon-Helge Tveita (Hamstring strain) won’t be in action.
From our viewpoint, Bryne could decide to make use of a 4-4-2 formation with a starting lineup of Jan de Boer, Luis Görlich, Jens Berland Husebø, Axel Kryger, Lasse Qvigstad, Eirik Saunes, Nicklas Strunck, Lars Erik Sodal, Alfred Scriven, Sanel Bojadzic and Duarte Moreira.

Prediction
We’ve got the feeling that Sarpsborg 08 will, in all likelihood, be able to create a high number of chances and successful shots on target.
However, Bryne may well find it hard to find the back of the net although we do reckon that they could well end up converting at least once as well.
We can therefore see a controlled 3-1 winning score for Sarpsborg 08 at the conclusion of the game.
