Tromso to Win
We're backing Tromso to beat Kristiansund on Thursday despite both games between the pair last season ending in stalemates. Kristiansund have lost nine of their opening 10 games this season, managing a solitary home draw against HamKam back in April, while Tromso are enjoying an unbeaten run in all competitions right now picking up two wins and four draws from their last six fixtures.
Both Teams to Score
We're backing both teams to score on Thursday just as they did in this very fixture last season, which ended in a 1-1 draw. Four of Kristiansund's last six matches have produced goals at both ends of the pitch while both teams have also scored in each of Tromso's last six competitive and non-competitive matches, so you can see why we've backed both teams to score in this game.

Bottom side Kristiansund searching for first win
Kristiansund played host to top-of-the-table Lillestrom last time out and managed to take the lead via a 19th-minute minute penalty from Bye. However, this proved to be a false dawn for the home side as Adams scored twice and Friojonsson added a third goal for the visitors to wrap up a 3-1 away win.
Kristiansund Predicted Lineup: Mbaye, Askar, Aasbak, Hopmark, Kartum, Nilsen, Williamsen, Kalludra, Diop, Jarl & Bye
Tromso made the trip to Sandefjord last time out and fell behind late in the first half to a goal from Kurtovic. Vesterlund managed to get Tromso back on level terms early in the second half but Sandefjord responded with a goal from Ofkir 3-minutes later to move back in front. Tromso continued to push for an equaliser and eventually secured it via Kamanzi in the 81st minute as the scoreline ended all square at two goals apiece.
Tromso Predicted Lineup: Haugaard, Psyché, Gundersen, Vesterlund, Øyvann, Jenssen, Antonsen, Nilsen, Opsahl, Moses & Mikkelsen
