Tromso preview: A couple of injury concerns

Molde preview: Two long-term absentees
Molde's poor form in recent weeks can be put down to a couple of key injuries. Neither Albert Posiadala nor Kristian Eriksen are expected to be ready to return for a while, which means Molde are going to need to find solutions quickly if they are to escape their current slump.
Predicted lineup: Karlstrom (GK), Kaasa, Oyvann, Haugan, Lund, Daehli, Enggard, Hestad, Eikrem, Berisha, Gulbrandsen

Player to watch: Vegard Erlien
A big reason why Tromso have been performing so well lately is their centre forward, Vegard Erlien. The 27-year-old is now in his third season with the club and after he failed to live up to the heights he reached in his first campaign last season, he looks doubtly determined to perform well this time around. Erlien has scored five goals and provided one assist in his last eight league matches.
