ℹ️ Team News: Rosenborg BK

Noah Sahsah (Knee injury) and Tomas Nemcik (unknown injury) will not be able to play for Rosenborg BK gaffer Alfred Johansson.

It looks as if Troillongan may well use the 4-3-3 formation for the game and select Sander Tangvik, J. S. Mortensen, M. Konradsen Ceide, U. Y. Jenssen, Adrian Pereira, Moustafa Zeidan, Ole Kristian Selnaes, Iver Fossum, Noah Holm, Dino Islamovic and Emil Konradsen Ceide.

🗞️ Team News: Viking FK

Viking FK boss Bjarte Lunde Aarsheim has not got a full squad to pick from. Gianni Stensness (Knee injury) and Nick D'Agostino (Ankle injury) are those who can’t be considered.

We believe De mørkeblå could decide to utilise a 4-3-3 lineup, going with Kristoffer Klaesson, Henrik Heggheim, Martin Roseth, Henrik Falchener, Sondre Bjoershol, Jakob Segadal Hansen, Joe Bell, Kristoffer Askildsen, Herman Haugen, Peter Christiansen and Edvin Austboe.

⚡ Prediction

We’ve got the feeling that Viking FK and Rosenborg BK should end up playing out a closely-fought contest here.

Shouldn’t be much in it, and there should be goals with a draw being quite a realistic outcome. That’s why our selection here is for a very competitive game with a 2-2 score draw at the end of the 90 minutes.
