Positioned in the middle of the standings, they have shown a promising offense, averaging 1.5 goals per game in their recent matches.

The team has been relatively injury-free, which bodes well for their tactical setups and depth on the bench.

Sandnes ULF, on the other hand, is fighting to avoid relegation and has had a mixed bag of results throughout the season. Currently sitting towards the bottom of the table, their offensive output has been concerning, averaging just 0.9 goals per match. Their defense has also struggled, allowing 1.8 goals per game, which underscores their challenges in both attacking and defending phases. The squad has been affected by a couple of injuries, which may limit their options in the lineup. Nevertheless, they will be looking to turn their fortunes around in this critical fixture.
