Sandefjord, on the other hand, will be looking to bounce back from their recent draw. Their 4-2-3-1 setup could provide the width needed to stretch Tromsø’s defence. However, they might struggle to break down Tromsø’s compact shape. A tight contest is on the cards, with both teams having their moments.Sandefjord, on the other hand, will be looking to bounce back from their recent draw.
