Match begins: 16:00 (UTC)

This could be an interesting match as Stjørdals-Blink have their presumed home advantage while Sogndal are ahead 2 points in the Obos-Ligaen table.

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Stjørdals-Blink and Sogndal.

These teams have little in common geographically as Sogndal have to travel 1200 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

The supporters enjoyed Sogndal's previous game versus HamKam (placed 16th), a Obos-Ligaen 4-2 win played at home. Preceding that game was the away victory against Lillestrøm with the score of 2-0.

As you can tell from the result, the match against HamKam was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today?
