Match preview

KFUM have collected seven points from their last three games in the Eliteserien, drawing 1-1 with Rosenborg at the start of June before recording back-to-back wins over Stromsgodset and Molde.

A record of three wins, two draws and six defeats from 11 matches has brought them 11 points, which has left them in 14th spot in the table, five points ahead of 15th-placed Stromsgodset.

Johannes Moesgaard's side have won two and lost three of their five home league matches this season, and they will be welcoming a Bryne outfit that have just four points to show from their five league fixtures on their travels.

KFUM have actually won each of their last three matches against Bryne, including a 2-0 victory when the two teams last locked horns in the NM Cupen towards the end of May.

Bryne, meanwhile, will enter this match off the back of a 1-1 draw with HamKam, which stretched their unbeaten run in the Eliteserien to five matches, with three of those games ending in wins.

Indeed, Kevin Knappen's side overcame Stromsgodset, Fredrikstad and Sandefjord before drawing their last two fixtures against Sarpsborg and HamKam, but they remain down in 12th spot in the table.

A record of four wins, two draws and five defeats from 12 matches has brought them 14 points, and they are only three points above their opponents ahead of this weekend's contest.

Bryne finished second in the second tier last season to secure a return to the top flight, and they have previously been runners-up on two occasions in the first division, which occurred in 1980 and 1982.
