SK Brann will be without their captain, Fredrik Pallesen Knudsen, who is sidelined due to a knee injury.

He is joined in the treatment room by Jonas Torsvik, Niklas Castro, Niklas Jensen Wassberg, and Sakarias Opsahl.

Aune Heggebo will continue to lead the attack for the hosts, having netted seven goals in 12 Eliteserien appearances this season.

Meanwhile, Sandefjord's manager Andreas Tegstrom is expected to miss midfielder Marcus Melchior and forward Sebastian Mathisen due to injuries.

Stefan Ingi Sigurdarson has completed his three-match ban and could return to lead Sandefjord's attack.

Loris Mettler might earn a starting spot if Tegstrom decides to adjust the midfield for the match.

SK Brann possible starting lineup:

Dyngeland; Pedersen, Sery Larsen, Helland, Soltvedt; Gudmundsson, Kornvig, Myhre; Sande, Finne, Heggebo

Sandefjord possible starting lineup:

Hadaya; Pedersen, Smajlovic, Kristiansen, Cheng; Mork, Ottosson, Mettler; Patoulidis, Dunsby, Sigurdarson
