🗞️ Team News: Lillestrøm SK

Nearly everyone is up for selection, with just a single fitness concern for the Lillestrøm SK gaffer Hans Erik Ødegaard to be concerned about from an otherwise fully-primed group of players. Eric Kitolano (Broken leg) misses out. Espen Garnås will not be able to play in this game through being suspended.

In our view, Kanarifuglene will probably use the 4-3-3 system for the game, utilising Pontus Dahlberg, Sturla Ottesen, Ruben Gabrielsen, Ulrik Jenssen, Frederik Elkaer, Ylldren Ibrahimaj, Gustav Nyheim, Markus Karlsbakk, Yaw Paintsil, Thomas Lehne Olsen and Félix Va.

ℹ️ Team News: Viking FK

We are inclined to think that De mørkeblå seem likely to begin the game with a 4-3-3 formation with a starting lineup of Lubomir Belko, Henrik Heggheim, Gianni Stensness, Henrik Falchener, Kristoffer Haugen, Tobias Moi, Simen Kvia-Egeskog, Kristoffer Askildsen, N. Kemp Fuglestad, Peter Christiansen and Zlatko Tripic.
