Our view

Kristiansund's recent defensive record is a major concern, and KFUM Oslo's run of results makes them the more settled side going into this one. The head-to-head record also leans towards the visitors, who won the most recent meeting in August.

Most likely outcome: away win - KFUM Oslo's stronger recent form and better head-to-head record point their way.
