Competition: Norway 2. Division
Date: Thu 16.May
Match begins: 15:00 (UTC)
Venue: Lassa idrettspark (4000 seats)

It's early days in the 2. Division and the teams are still hoping for a flying start in order to set the tone for the season. Three points can make a big difference at this stage.

These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only four days ago in the 2. Division.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Arendal have a different surface at their stadium (artificial turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 6-3-4 (win-draw-loss) from 13 matches.
