Competition: Norway Eliteserien
Date: Sun 01.September
Match begins: 16:00 (UTC)
Venue: Alfheim Stadion (8585 seats)

Tromsø hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 21 points and a 12th position in the Eliteserien table. Visiting Haugesund holds 10th place with 24 pts.

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.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artificial turf and that the visiting Haugesund have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artificial turf is 12-3-10 (win-draw-loss) from 25 matches. Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 1800 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.
