It could be a hat trick of victories away for Tromsø, as they have won on their previous two travels.

It's the second away game in a row for Tromsø, but there's smiles all around after the 4-3 victory versus Viking (placed 2nd) last time out. As you can tell from the result, the match against Viking was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 7 goals, will the fun continue today? World class coaching! That was the thoughts of manager Helstrup when Paintsil scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 86th minute. Erlien, attacking player, was the top performer on the team in that game, scoring a match rating of 8.33. Erlien scored two goals and hit one key pass.

A 1-2 loss hosting Aalesund before that.
