Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artifical turf and that the visiting Brann have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artifical turf is 6-5-17 (win-draw-loss) from 28 matches.

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Stabæk wasn't a success with a 0-2 loss.So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest.
