📰 Team News: Sarpsborg 08
We believe Sarpsborg 08 seem most likely to play in a 4-3-3 system using Mamour N'diaye, Claus Niyukuri, Bjoern Inge Utvik, Menno Koch, Anders Hiim, Victor Halvorsen, Sander Christiansen, Andreas Nibe, Sondre Soerli, D. Seland Karlsbakk and Noa Williams.
✨ Prediction
In this match, SK Brann are likely to be able to create a high number of chances and successful shots on target.
At the same time, Sarpsborg 08 could well struggle to break down their defence but we do fancy them hitting back at some stage, too.
We can therefore see a fairly comfortable 3-1 margin for SK Brann when the full-time whistle blows.
