Team News: Vålerenga
Nearly everyone is up for selection, with just one fitness concern for the Vålerenga gaffer Geir Bakke to be concerned about from an otherwise complete group. Omar Bully (Knee injury) is out of contention.
We are thinking that Enga may well line up in a 4-3-3 formation in the match, handing starts to Magnus Sjoeng, Hakon Sjatil, Kevin Tshiembe, Sebastian Jarl, Vinicius Nogueira, Fidel Brice Ambina, Carl Lange, Henrik Björdal, Magnus Riisnaes, Muamer Brajanac and Petter Strand.
📋
Team News: SK Brann
SK Brann manager Freyr Alexandersson has to contend with a number of unavailable players. Martin Hellan (Shoulder injury) and Niklas Jensen Wassberg (Knee injury) won’t be making appearances.
We reckon that SK Brann appear most likely to utilise a 4-3-3 lineup, choosing Matias Dyngeland, Thore Pedersen, Eivind Helland, Fredrik Knudsen, Joachim Soltvedt, E. Aron Gudmundsson, Emil Kornvig, Felix Horn Myhre, Mads Hansen, A. Selland Heggebö and Niklas Castro.
