Sogndal
- Ernest Agyiri is still out, while injury-prone forward Daniel Fredheim Holm is back in training - but not expected to take any part here.
- The big question mark surrounds star striker Mohammed Abdellaoue, without whom the VIF attack looks more than a little blunt. Coach Ronny Deila has said that he hopes to have the former Hannover-man ready for this game, yet his availability is uncertain.
- Striker Ole Amund Sveen sustained a badly broken leg in the match against Stabæk and will be out for the season, a huge blow for Sogndal who lack the squad depth and resources to easily replace a first team starter.
- Full-back Taijo Teniste missed Sogndal's last game due to a muscle injury, and could miss out again here.
- Manager Eirik Bakke switched from his usual 4-4-2-formation to a 4-5-1 in their last game. He could continue in the same vein, but he may also look to exploit Vålerenga's shaky defense by setting out in a more attacking manner.
