Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Flint & Sandefjord face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the NM Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
This football stadium has artifical turf, which is not Sandefjord's regular surface at their own arena. When appearing on artifical turf Sandefjord have performed like this: Played 26 matches yielding 11 wins, 2 draws and 13 defeats with the goal difference 38-46 (scored/conceded).
The visiting Sandefjord played their last game only three days ago, a Eliteserien match. That game was also an away game, at Viking. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
