Player to watch: Duarte Moreira
Bryne will turn to Duarte Moreira for inspiration once again on Sunday, and there is every chance that the Portuguese forward delivers the goods. Moreira had a steady season for the club last season but is enjoying himself more against better opposition in the Eliteserien. So far this season, he has scored five goals and registered three assists.
