Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Lyn & Vålerenga face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the NM Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Vålerenga have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 5-4-8 (win-draw-loss) from 17 matches.
These teams are located so close to each other that their supporters eat in the same restaurants, hang out at the same night clubs and give birth at the same hospitals. This means added importance to the game and a vibrant atmosphere.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
