📰 Team News: Fredrikstad FK

There aren’t many selection issues, with just the sole fitness concern for the Fredrikstad FK manager Andreas Hagen to be concerned about from an otherwise complete squad. Sigurd Kvile (Back injury) won’t play.

It seems likely that Aristokratene look set to employ a 3-5-2 formation, utilising Jonathan Fischer, Simen Rafn, Maxwell Woledzi, Fallou Fall, Daniel Eid, Patrick Metcalfe, Leonard Owusu, O. Oehlenschlaeger, Jacob Hanstad, B. Thoresen Faraas and Emil Holten.

📋 Team News: SK Brann

SK Brann manager Freyr Alexandersson has some current player fitness concerns. Martin Hellan (Broken foot) and Niklas Jensen Wassberg (Knee injury) miss out here.

There’s a good chance that SK Brann seem likely to utilise a 4-3-3 system with a starting lineup of Mathias Dyngeland, Denzel De Roeve, Eivind Helland, F. Pallesen Knudsen, Joachim Soltvedt, Mads Sande, Emil Kornvig, Felix Horn Myhre, Mads Kristian Hansen, A. Selland Heggeboe and Niklas Castro.

💡 Prediction

We believe that Fredrikstad FK might well have a job on their hands to break down this SK Brann lineup who we think will likely get the vital goal that wins it.

We’re therefore seeing a good battle with a 0-1 advantage for SK Brann when all is said and done.

We’ll see what happens.
