Stord welcome Vard Haugesund on Saturday, Oct 3 at 1:00 PM in a 3. Division – Group 3 fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 2 points split them in the table.

Stord come into this fixture in mixed form (2W 2D 1L). Vard Haugesund, meanwhile, arrive in good form (3W 1D 1L recently) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Stord a slight edge, but Vard Haugesund are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
