Gamle Oslo vs Lyn - NM Cupen

Few would have predicted the narrative arc that brings Gamle Oslo and Lyn together at the home ground on September 16, 2026, and the underdog storyline only adds to the NM Cupen occasion. Manchester City face the K-League All-Stars in Seoul on Wednesday as part of their pre-season tour of Asia.

Both Gamle Oslo and Lyn will be eager to build momentum when they meet in NM Cupen. Gamle Oslo will be keen to seize the initiative and build some momentum on home soil. The visitors will back themselves to cause problems and will not make the trip expecting an easy afternoon. It’s safe to say that Paige Bueckers is putting up elite all-around numbers in her second WNBA season for the Dallas Wings, averaging over 20 points and nearly six assists a night.

Tactically, the contest promises a fascinating contrast. Gamle Oslo will look to impose their style on home soil, while Lyn are likely to have ideas of their own about how to gain the upper hand. Speaking on his YouTube Ferdinand said: "If I’m Manchester United right now I say press the green button and buy him, take him, right now.

Star players on both sides will be eager to make their mark, and the individual duels across the pitch could go a long way to deciding the outcome. The battle in midfield, where both sides look to control tempo, could prove the decisive arena. He would keep it close until the defender had a nibble and then shift it," says Carr.

The market has yet to form a strong view, and the contest looks genuinely difficult to call. Expect a tight, competitive affair that could easily end all square at 1-1. With the standings tight and form on the line, this is a fixture neither side will want to lose. It is understood that his next move is most likely to take him abroad - and potentially to the Premier League.
