Team News: Viking FK
Gianni Stensness (Knee injury) and Nick D'Agostino (Ankle injury) will not be able to play for Viking FK manager Bjarte Lunde Aarsheim.
We are thinking that De mørkeblå may well employ a 4-3-3 formation for the game featuring Kristoffer Klaesson, Henrik Heggheim, Anders Bærtelsen, Henrik Falchener, Viljar Vevatne, Sander Svendsen, Joe Bell, Jakob Segadal Hansen, Zlatko Tripic, Peter Christiansen and Edvin Austbø.

Team News: Fredrikstad FK
Due to a mostly healthy group, there’s only the one fitness problem for the Fredrikstad FK manager Andreas Hagen to be concerned about. Sigurd Kvile (Back injury) won’t be playing here.
It’s our belief that Aristokratene appear most likely to elect for a 3-4-3 formation, giving starts to Jonathan Fischer, Maxwell Woledzi, Ulrik Fredriksen, Fallou Fall, Daniel Eid, O. Øhlenschlæger, Leonard Owusu, Stian Molde, Rocco Robert Shein, Emil Holten and Henrik Skogvold.
🔮
Prediction
We’re thinking that Viking FK are likely to get a lot of shots on goal and make them count.
In contrast, Fredrikstad FK may well find it hard getting on the scoresheet but we do think that it’s more than likely that they will be hitting back at some stage.
Our selection here is for a pretty comfortable 3-1 winning score for Viking FK at the end of the 90 minutes.
