The Eliteserien tie at SR-Bank Arena on Sunday sees hosts Viking FK take to the field against Stabæk, and our team has the latest predicted line ups and news on player availability.
Viking FK, who won their previous game, will hope for a similar result following the 1-3 Eliteserien victory over Lillestrøm SK. In all likelihood, De mørkeblå should employ a 4-3-3 formation for the game, handing starts to Patrik Gunnarsson, Herman Johan Haugen, Sondre Bjorshol, David Brekalo, Shayne Pattynama, Patrick Yazbek, Markus Solbakken, Harald Tangen, Sander Svendsen, Lars-Jorgen Salvesen and Zlatko Tripic.
It’s a low absenteeism rate, with just the lone fitness concern for the Viking FK manager Bjarte Lunde Aarsheim to be concerned with thanks to an otherwise robust group of players. Gianni Stensness is out of contention. Djibril Diop cannot play in this game through suspension.
How Viking FK might line up vs Stabæk
After being beaten in their last game against ODD Grenland in Eliteserien competition, Stabæk will be hoping to turn things around here. From our viewpoint, De Blaa seem most likely to begin the game with a 3-5-2 lineup, starting the game with Isak Pettersson, Kasper Pedersen, Nicolai Næss, Andreas Skovgaard, Sturla Ottesen, Jonatan Lucca, Curtis Edwards, Fredrik Krogstad, Nikolas Walstad, Mushaga Bakenga and Kaloyan Kostadinov.
With a fully injury-free group to pick from, Stabæk boss Lars Bohinen doesn’t have any fitness worries at all coming into this match.
