📰 Team News: Viking FK
We are thinking that De mørkeblå will possibly opt for a 4-1-4-1 system in the match featuring Lubomir Belko, Henrik Heggheim, Gianni Stensness, Anders Baertelsen, Kristoffer Haugen, Joe Bell, Niklas Fuglestad, Kristoffer Askildsen, Simen Kvia-Egeskog, Zlatko Tripic and Peter Christiansen.
📋 Team News: Sandefjord
It’s our belief that Guttane appear most likely to utilise a 4-3-3 system, starting the game with Elias Hadaya, F. Carson Pedersen, Xander Lambrix, Stian Kristiansen, Vetle Walle Egeli, Marcus Melchior, Sander Risan, E. Sundboe Pettersen, Evangelos Patoulidis, Nikolaj Moeller and Bendik Berntsen.
💭 Prediction
We feel that in this game, Viking FK will, in all likelihood, convert a lot of goal-scoring opportunities.
Conversely, Sandefjord could well find it tough to break down their defence - but, we do see them seeing enough of the ball to score, too.
Our selection here is for a decent 3-1 win for Viking FK after 90 minutes.
