Season ticket holders at Consto Arena haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Mjøndalen languishing in the 15th position so far. The guesting Brann will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

It should be mentioned that Brann play their home matches on grass, so they have to adjust for this one as it's played on artifical turf. Does it matter?
