Match begins: 13:00 (UTC)
Venue: TOBB ARENA Levanger (6000 seats)

An important duel in the bottom section of the league table, with both teams experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic “six-pointer” with the home team placed 10th and the visitors in 11th place.

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

This pitch has artificial turf, which is not Vidar's usual surface at their own ground. When playing on artificial turf Vidar have performed like this: Played 25 matches resulting in 10 wins, 2 draws and 13 defeats with the goal stats 44-53 (scored/conceded). It's quite the trip for Vidar when visiting Levanger as the cities are 800 kilometers apart.
