On Sunday Apr 30th, in week 4, Strømsgodset will host Tromsø at Marienlyst Stadion in a meeting of these two Eliteserien teams.

In their last match, Strømsgodset recorded a 0-2 loss against HamKam. Henrik Udahl struck first for HamKam in the 75th minute, then Pål Alexander Kirkevold added another in the 89th minute on a feed from Aleksander Melgalvis At the end of 90 a dissapointed Strømsgodset couldn’t manage to score, and HamKam took the shutout win.

Erlien scored the first goal for Tromsø in the 30th minute on a penalty shot, then Sander Svendsen tied it up for Viking in the 70th minute on a penalty shot earning Viking a comeback draw. Tromsø is looking for direction having 1 win and 0 losses in their last 10 matches.
