The Eliteserien match at Intility Arena on Saturday sees home side Vålerenga lock horns with visiting opponents Sarpsborg 08. Time to bring you the latest player updates and predicted line ups.

Vålerenga will be hoping to return to winning ways here following the 1-0 Eliteserien defeat in their last game at the hands of el Hamarkameratene. It looks as if Enga look set to employ a 4-4-2 system in the match, beginning the first half with Oscar Hedvall, Vegar Hedenstad, Aaron Kiil Olsen, Ivan Näsberg, K. Birgir Finnsson, Lucas Haren, Magnus Westergaard, Carl Lange, Filip Thorvaldsen, Henrik Björdal y Mathias Grundetjern.

Mohamed Ofkir y Omar Bully will be missing for Vålerenga manager Geir Bakke.

How Vålerenga could look vs Sarpsborg 08

Sarpsborg 08 go into this game following on from a 2-1 Eliteserien win vs el Fredrikstad FK in their previous fixture. It’s our belief that Sarpsborg seem likely to play in a 4-2-3-1 formation with a starting lineup of Mamour Ndiaye, Claus Niyukuri, Bjørn Inge Utvik, Menno Koch, Anders Hiim, Aimar Sher, Sander Christiansen, Sondre Sørli, Victor Halvorsen, Andreas Nibe y Daniel Karlsbakk.

Thanks to a mainly available group of players, there’s only the lone fitness problem for the Sarpsborg 08 manager Even Sel to be concerned with. Michael Opoku (Broken ankle) misses out for this game.
