In our view, Gutan should use a 3-5-2 formation for this one, beginning the first half with Jakob Haugaard, Vetle Skjaervik, Tobias Guddal, A. Sedi Kinteh, Leo Cornic, David Edvardsson, Ruben Jenssen, Jens Hjerto-Dahl, Runar Norheim, Vegard Erlien and August Mikkelsen.

Team News: Vålerenga
Vålerenga boss Geir Bakke has to currently contend with reduced team options. Henrik Bjørdal (Knee injury) and Omar Bully (Knee injury) are names that won’t be on the team sheet.
We’re of the thinking that Enga might play in a 4-3-3 lineup, going with Magnus Sjoeng, Vegar Hedenstad, Sebastian Jarl, Aaron Kiil Olsen, Vinicius Nogueira, E. K. Hagen, Fidel Brice Ambina, Carl Lange, Elias Sørensen, Muamer Brajanac and Filip Thorvaldsen.

Prediction
We’ve got the feeling that Vålerenga may well find it hard to break down this Tromsø IL lineup who we think will likely score one, at least.
We’re therefore expecting a hard-fought contest, finishing with a 1-0 win for Tromsø IL at the end of the match.
Looking forward to this.
