Preview: Bryne vs. Sandefjord in Norwegian Eliteserien Gameweek 9

Bryne will have Sondre Norheim returning to the squad this weekend after his suspension against Fredrikstad, with Axel Kryger and Jens Berland Husebo expected to anchor the defense for Knappen.

Meanwhile, right-back Jon-Helge Tveita will be absent as he recovers from a hamstring injury, so Luis Gorlich and Lass Qvigstad are likely to feature at full-back.

Additionally, centre-back Jacob Haahr, out since May 11, and right-winger Remi Andre Svindland, who has not played in 2025, are both questionable for this match.

For Sandefjord, striker Stefan Igni Sigurdarson will be unavailable due to his red card against Viking, with Darrell Kamdem Tibell set to lead the line on Sunday.

In defense, centre-backs Zinedin Smajlovic and Stian Kristiansen will aim to address their team's recent defensive issues, protecting goalkeeper Elia Hadaya.

Bryne possible starting lineup:

De Boer; Gorlich, Kryger, Husebo, Qvigstad; Saunes, Sodal, Strunck, Scriven; Bojadzic, Moreira

Sandefjord possible starting lineup:

Hadaya; Pedersen, Smajlovic, Kristiansen, Cheng; Ottosson, Mork; Patoulidis, Melchior, Dunsby; Tibell
