Only a win will satisfy the Vard supporters in this Haugesund Stadion clash with Nardo, having a healthy lead on the opposition in the 2. Division table.
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.
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Nardo have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 6-2-9 (win-draw-loss) from 17 matches.
