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.

Vard form and stats
Last season their NM Cup adventure ended in the 1st round.Home advantage was not enough for Vard in their previous game as they lost hosting Egersund, 1-2.
Prior to that match, the Vard manager Fosen faced defeat when travelling to Flekkerøy and losing 2-3.There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Vard manager Fosen as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Staal Jørpeland.
It's a day of discovery for Vard as they finally learn what impact all the hours of pre-season training, along with the changes in personnel, have had on their performance in an official game. It's never easy knowing what to expect based on friendly games, of which Vard have played eight with the results W1-D3-L4 (win-draw-lost).
