🗞️ Team News: Strømsgodset IF

Nearly everyone is up for selection, with just the lone fitness concern for the Strømsgodset IF boss Bjørn Petter Ingebretsen to be concerned with thanks to an almost full-strength group. Kreshnik Krasniqi (Cruciate Ligament Rupture) misses out.

In all likelihood, Godset will possibly use the 4-3-3 formation with V. Roesholt Myhra, L. Vilsvik, S. Fosnaess Hanssen, Gustav Valsvik, Thomas Groegaard, Johan Hove, Jack Ipalibo, Hermann Stengel, Halldor Stenevik, Fred Friday and Jonatan Braut Brunes.

📋 Team News: Kristiansund

With a completely healthy squad available to select from, the Kristiansund boss Christian Michelsen doesn’t have any fitness concerns at all coming into this match.

It’s our belief that KBK might make use of a 5-3-2 lineup, starting Serigne Mbaye, Sebastian Jarl, Dan Peter Ulvestad, M. N. Williamsen, Snorre Nilsen, T. Oewre Gjertsen, Liridon Kalludra, Amidou Diop, Sander Erik Kartum, Faris Moumbagna and B. Darri Willumsson.

💡 Prediction

In this match, Kristiansund certainly have the ability to put one past this Strømsgodset IF side, although it probably won’t quite prevent them from conceding a couple at the other end.
