2nd position in the 2. Division table for Sotra so far, a good performance. The home supporters hope for more joy as 8th-placed Egersund visits Straume stadion.

It's no vacation for neither Sotra nor Egersund 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.

This pitch has artifical turf, which is not Egersund's usual surface at their own ground. When playing on artifical turf Egersund have performed like this: Played 24 matches resulting in 12 wins, 5 draws and 7 defeats with the goal stats 39-28 (scored/conceded).
