📰 Team News: Vålerenga

Nearly everyone is up for selection, with just a single fitness concern for the Vålerenga boss Geir Bakke to be concerned with from an otherwise complete set of players. Omar Bully (Knee injury) is sidelined.

We are thinking that Enga look set to kick off with a 4-1-4-1 system in the match featuring M. Smelhus Sjoeeng, Haakon Sjaatil, Sebastian Jarl, Kevin Tshiembe, Vinicius Nogueira, Fidel Brice Ambina, Magnus Bech Riisnaes, H. Roervik Bjoerdal, Carl Lange, Petter Strand and Muamer Brajanac.

🗞️ Team News: SK Brann

SK Brann boss Freyr Alexandersson has to choose a team with limited availability. Martin Hellan (Shoulder injury), Denzel De Roeve (Facial fracture) and Niklas Jensen Wassberg (Knee injury) will miss out on this game.

We believe SK Brann seem likely to make use of a 4-3-3 system, settling for Mathias Dyngeland, Thore Pedersen, F. Pallesen Knudsen, Eivind Helland, Joachim Soltvedt, E. Aron Gudmundsson, Emil Kornvig, Felix Horn Myhre, Mads Kristian Hansen, A. Selland Heggeboe and Niklas Castro.

💡 Prediction

Our assessment here is that Vålerenga may not find it easy to register a score against this SK Brann side who we reckon should be able to grind out a win.

That’s why we have predicted a highly competitive game with a 0-1 advantage for SK Brann when the full-time whistle blows.
