📋 Team News: SK Brann

Martin Hellan (Shoulder injury), Denzel De Roeve (Facial fracture), Sakarias Opsahl (unknown injury) and Niklas Jensen Wassberg (Knee injury) will not be taking part for SK Brann gaffer Freyr Alexandersson.

We think that SK Brann will probably use a 4-3-3 system in the match featuring Mathias Dyngeland, Eivind Helland, F. Pallesen Knudsen, Japhet Sery Larsen, Thore Pedersen, E. Aron Gudmundsson, Emil Kornvig, Felix Horn Myhre, Baard Finne, A. Selland Heggeboe and Mads Sande.

ℹ️ Team News: Sarpsborg 08

Thanks to a mainly available squad, there’s just the lone fitness issue for the Sarpsborg 08 gaffer Christian Michelsen to be concerned about. Anders Hiim (Torn knee ligaments) won’t be in action.

It’s our belief that Sarpsborg 08 appear most likely to elect for a 4-2-3-1 system, settling for Mamour N'diaye, Eirik Wichne, Menno Koch, Franklin Uchenna, Peter Reinhardsen, Sander Christiansen, Aimar Sher, Frederik Carstensen, Harald Tangen, Sondre Oerjasaeter and D. Seland Karlsbakk.

💡 Prediction

We feel that in this game, Sarpsborg 08 have the firepower to breach the defence of this SK Brann side, however that might not be enough to avoid a loss.

Our tip is for both teams to score in a 2-1 victory for SK Brann after 90 minutes. Should be a good one.
