Very important duel in the cellar of the 3. Division, with both NTNUI and Melhus going through more distress than glee. This game is a real "six-pointer" with the team playing at home at 11th and the away team in 12th place.

Insights:
  • All of NTNUI's matches have had more than 1,5 goals.
  • Melhus have the fewest scored goals (8) in 3. Division
