The right-back position is causing some concern as Julian Ryerson is injured and his replacement Marcus Holmgren Pedersen has been struggling. Coach Ståle Solbakken mentioned there's been some 'small fuss' at the position. Hangeland declined to reveal the lineup for the match, which kicks off at 22:00 and will be broadcast on NRK1 and NRK TV.
