One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artifical turf and that the visiting Lyn have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artifical turf is 14-4-3 (win-draw-loss) from 21 matches.

These teams are so close in distance that this match is special, a derby with local pride the main prize.

It's no vacation for neither Kjelsås nor Lyn as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
