Match begins: 18:30 (UTC)
Venue: Color Line Stadion (10778 seats)

Aalesund and Start are both riding high in the Obos-Ligaen with their 1st and 3rd positions respectively. Expect a great game!

Aalesund and Start should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.

Start have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 800 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Aalesund have already won the league and the fans have gone wild! Even so, with the trophy already secured there could be issues regarding the team's motivation in this one. Start are still fighting for the big positions at the top of the table.
