Vard prepare for this after their 2-2 result against Åkra (after extra-time, 5-4 on penalties), a game they learned a lot from. How will they do against Notodden?
- Vard have scored at least twice as many goals as they have conceded.
- Notodden have the most dropped points from leading position (9) in 2. Division
It's no vacation for neither Vard nor Notodden 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.
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Notodden 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 1-0-9 (win-draw-loss) from ten matches.
