Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Brann & Fredrikstad face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the NM Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
This stadium has grass, which is not Fredrikstad's regular surface at their own ground. When appearing on grass Fredrikstad have performed like this: Played ten matches producing 6 wins, 1 draw and 3 defeats with the goal production 21-16 (scored/conceded).
It's no vacation for neither Brann nor Fredrikstad as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
