    Diskerud assumes his customary position in the starting lineup.

    Stabæk are solidly mid-table in 9th place, but have a game in hand on most of the league. A win would put them in 5th place.

    3rd place is the last Europa League spot. I wonder if they can reach it?

    With six games left, they'll have to come close to winning out. It's unlikely, given their recent form (one win, four losses in the last five).

    This one ended 1-1. I couldn't find a stream, unfortunately. Stabæk will be disappointed, but at least they played better at Lillestrøm than they did against the same team at home, when they lost 7-0(!)

    Could not qualifying for Europe make it more likely for Mix to be on the move in January?

    Yes. Stabæk is apparently facing significant financial issues. Lack of European money would make the need to sell assets even greater.

    yeah - they've already sold a bunch of the more seasoned veterans, hence their struggles...

    Perhaps Mix will be dealt in the next window as well, and they undertake a complete re-tooling.

    Would like to see him make a progressive move to Holland or Belgium and continue to hone his skills in a better league.
