ℹ️ Team News: Kristiansund

Almost everyone can be considered, as there’s just the lone fitness concern for the Kristiansund gaffer Amund Skiri to be concerned about from a near full-strength squad. Michael Lansing (unknown injury) is sidelined.

In our view, KBK look set to use the 4-3-3 system in the match, handing starts to K. A. Skjærstein, Ian Hoffmann, Marius Olsen, Dan Peter Ulvestad, Mikkel Rakneberg, Niklas Ødegård, Wilfred George Igor, Ruben Alte, Rezan Corlu, M. Isah Ubandoma and Sander Kilen.

📋 Team News: Sarpsborg 08

Sarpsborg 08 boss Christian Michelsen has to choose a team with limited availability. Anders Hiim (Torn knee ligaments) and Aimar Sher (unknown injury) are those who can’t be considered.

We are inclined to think that Sarpsborg 08 might elect for a 4-3-3 system, starting Mamour Ndiaye, Eirik Wichne, Menno Koch, Franklin Tebo, Mohanad Jeahze, Victor Halvorsen, Sander Christiansen, Harald Tangen, Alagie Sanyang, Daniel Karlsbakk and Sondre Ørjasæter.

✨ Prediction

We’re of the view that Sarpsborg 08 and Kristiansund should both be able to score more than once here although it’s hard to pick a clear winner.

It’s looking like it could well end up as a draw but we do expect to see goals at each end. We’re therefore seeing a high-scoring affair with a 2-2 draw when the referee blows the final whistle.
