Team News: Fredrikstad FK
From a largely full-strength group, there is just a single fitness problem for the Fredrikstad FK gaffer Andreas Hagen to be concerned about. Sigurd Kvile (Back injury) won’t be in action.
We believe Aristokratene appear most likely to utilise a 3-4-3 lineup, 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.

Our selection here is for a pretty comfortable 3-1 winning score for Viking FK at the end of the 90 minutes.
