Viking FK boss Bjarte Lunde Aarsheim has a number of players out of action. Gianni Stensness (Knee injury) and Nick D'Agostino (Ankle injury) will not be playing here.
There’s a good chance that De mørkeblå seem most likely to elect for a 4-3-3 lineup by sending out Kristoffer Klaesson, Henrik Heggheim, Anders Bærtelsen, Henrik Falchener, Jost Urbancic, Jakob Segadal Hansen, Joe Bell, Christian Cappis, Sander Svendsen, Peter Christiansen and Edvin Austbø.
🔮
Prediction
We feel that in this game, Kristiansund would be disappointed if they were not to score against this Viking FK side, but one goal may not quite be as many as the goals that they could concede.
We are therefore anticipating a 1-2 winning margin for Viking FK at full-time. Hopefully this is a good one.
