Lillestrøm and Sogndal have both delivered a "par" performance so far, to use a golfing expression. Both hold mid-table positions in the Obos-Ligaen.

It's no vacation for neither Lillestrøm nor Sogndal 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.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Sogndal 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 5-2-3 (win-draw-loss) from ten matches.
