A home win is expected from this fixture if the league table is anything to judge by. The Bryne fans are optimistic that the difference between 1st and Sotra's 7th place in the table will show on the pitch.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
This stadium uses grass, unlike Sotra's home stadium. The visitors last five games on grass have ended in 3 wins, 0 draws and 2 losses.

A depressing four defeats in a row for Sotra in their away games. Unhappy days, as the last time they avoided a loss on the road was versus Rosenborg II.
