📰 Team News: Sarpsborg 08

Nearly everyone is up for selection, with just one fitness concern for the Sarpsborg 08 manager Christian Michelsen to be concerned about from a near full-strength set of players. Anders Hiim (Torn knee ligaments) won’t play.

We are thinking that Sarpsborg 08 will probably line up in a 4-2-3-1 formation for this game with Mamour N'diaye, Eirik Wichne, Menno Koch, Franklin Uchenna, Sander Christiansen, Victor Halvorsen, Aimar Sher, D. Seland Karlsbakk, Harald Tangen, Sondre Oerjasaeter and Frederik Carstensen.

🗞️ Team News: Strømsgodset IF

Strømsgodset IF boss Jørgen Isnes has to choose a team with limited availability. Ole Enersen (Hip injury) and Eirik Ulland Andersen (Cruciate ligament tear) are not able to play.

We are inclined to think that Godset seem most likely to utilise a 4-2-3-1 lineup, choosing P. K. Braatveit, Bent Soermo, Jesper Taaje, Gustav Valsvik, F. Kristensen Dahl, Herman Stengel, Kreshnik Krasniqi, Marcus Mehnert, Samuel Silalahi, Marko Lawk Farji and Elias Hoff Melkersen.

⚡ Prediction

In our opinion, Strømsgodset IF have the ability to get a goal against this Sarpsborg 08 side, although it may not be as many as the goals that they could concede.

We reckon that it will be a 2-1 winning score for Sarpsborg 08 when all is said and done. There looks to be little in this one.
