Start is gearing up for an exciting away match against Viking at Lyse Arena, where both teams aim to secure vital points in the Eliteserien. This match, taking place on May 16th, is not just any regular league game; it offers Start a chance to showcase their strength and resilience against one of the league's stronger opponents.

Key Players

One of Start's most exciting players is Davi, who has proven to be an indispensable part of the team's attack. His ability to create chances and score goals makes him a constant threat to the opponent’s defense. Additionally, Magnus Grødem, who has been a solid midfielder, will play a crucial role in controlling the midfield and facilitating attacks.

Defensively, Start will rely on the experienced center-back, Magnus Myklebust, who has been a rock in defense. His ability to read the game and break up attacks could prove critical against Viking’s attacking players.

Expected Tactics

In terms of tactics, we can expect Start to focus on a solid defensive structure while taking advantage of opportunities for quick counter-attacks. Coach Steinar Aase has previously shown that he likes to use pacey wingers, and with players like Grødem and Davi in form, Start can create problems for Viking.

Viking is known for their offensive play and will likely press Start early in the match. This presents an opportunity for Start to exploit spaces that may arise in Viking’s defense. By being patient and waiting for the right moments, Start can surprise with quick breaks.

Conclusion

With key players capable of delivering, and a clear tactical plan, Start can hope to return home with one or more points from Lyse Arena. It will be exciting to see how they handle the pressure from Viking and whether they can initiate their own game when the opportunity arises.
