A struggling Kristiansund will welcome Tromso to Kristiansund Stadion for their postponed Eliteserien Matchday 8 tie on Wednesday night with kickoff at 19:00.
Kristiansund have had a very difficult campaign in the Eliteserien this season with the side remaining winless after 10 league played so far, while also drawn just one in process and suffered nine defeats.
With now just one point, Kristiansund sit at the bottom of the table, nine points behind second-bottom Jerv and 11 points off their safety. They head into the match in a poor form having won just one of their last seven games across all competitions, losing out in six while the only win came in the Nuomen Cup against Strindheim.
However, they are unbeaten in the last six against Tromso at home and will be looking to use that to get their campaign up and running.
Tromso, meanwhile have made a slow campaign in the Eliteserien this season with the side drawing seven of their 11 games so far, while winning two and losing two in the process. With now 13 points, they sit 11th in the league standings, level on points with 12th-placed Sandefjord and just two points off the relegation zone.
Tromso are coming off a 2-2 draw against Sandefjord at away last time out, making it their fifth league draw in a row, while it stretched their unbeaten run to 10 games across all competitions. They will now be looking to end their drawing spell in the league and return to winning ways as they look to climb further away from the danger zone.
Tromso are clear favorites to pick maximum points on Wednesday although their last three games against Kristiansund ended in a share of the spoils and will need to be on top of the game here.
