Team News: Vålerenga
Henrik Bjørdal (Knee injury) and Omar Bully (Knee injury) won’t be able to feature for Vålerenga boss Geir Bakke.
In our view, Enga may well use the 4-3-3 formation this time featuring Jacob Storevik, Hakon Sjatil, Aaron Kiil Olsen, Kevin Tshiembe, Vinicius Nogueira, Stian Sjøvold, Fidel Brice Ambina, E. K. Hagen, Petter Strand, Mees Rijks and Filip Thorvaldsen.
🗞️
Team News: Fredrikstad FK
From a largely full-strength group of players, there is only the one fitness issue for the Fredrikstad FK gaffer Andreas Hagen to contend with. Sigurd Kvile (Back injury) misses out for this game.
We are inclined to think that Aristokratene might utilise a 3-4-3 formation, settling for Jonathan Fischer, Maxwell Woledzi, Ulrik Fredriksen, Fallou Fall, Daniel Eid, Patrick Metcalfe, Leonard Owusu, Stian Molde, Rocco Robert Shein, Emil Holten and Sondre Sørløkk.
💭
Prediction
In this match, Fredrikstad FK should have enough to break down this Vålerenga side, however it possibly won’t quite be enough to avoid defeat.
We’re predicting a tight encounter finishing with a 2-1 advantage for Vålerenga by the time that the referee blows the final whistle. Should be a good one.
