Venue: Straume stadion (1000 seats)

Very important fight in the "wrong" end of the 2. Division, with both Sotra and Flekkerøy feeling more worry than delight. This fixture is a classic "six-pointer" with the home side placed 11th and the visitors in 13th place.

Insights:
  • Sotra have the fewest scored goals in the first half (5) in 2. Division
  • Flekkerøy have conceded at least twice as many goals as they have scored away.

Flekkerøy could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a NM Cup game only four sleeps ago. That game was also an away game, at Kongsvinger. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
