Sandnes Ulf and Bryne supporters have their most treasured supporter gear on for this first game week of a new Obos-Ligaen campaign. Game on!

It should be mentioned that Bryne play their home matches on grass, so they have to adjust for this one as it's played on artifical turf. Does it matter? Recent statistics for Bryne on artifical turf are 8 victories, 8 draws and 14 defeats from 30 games. In these matches they have a goal statistics scored/conceded: 52-58. You can compare this with overall results below.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
