Some very quaint music being played before kick-off at the world's northermost professional football team.

Tromso fans are holding up what appear to be bin bags in their colours of red and white.

Ask Me Anything

Brighton and Hearts could both find themselves in the league phase of this season's Conference League.

Both share an owner in businessman Tony Bloom, but have been deemed eligible to play alongside each other should they advance past this month's last round of qualifying.

It comes down to the ownership structure, and Bloom has been very careful to make sure his clubs stay within the regulations.

Find out why here.

There is plenty of British and Irish interest elsewhere in tonight's Conference League qualifiers.

At 17:00 BST Larne kicked off their first leg away to Lincoln Red Imps of Gibraltar.

Follow live text of that here.

At 19:30, Motherwell host Freiburg, and Hibernian are at Gent - and 15 minutes later it's Rangers v Jablonec and Hearts v Rapid Vienna.

BBC Scotland will have live text of those ones.

Johnny Cantor was joined by Norwegian football expert Guillermo Munoz.

Munoz said: "Currently Tromso are third in the top division of Norwegian football. They have a firm chance in the title race, having lost just three of their 17 league matches so far.

"They're well organised and are quite tactically versatile. Their current head coach, Jorgen Vik, has outlined their strategy quite clearly: establishing a defensive threat from behind with a goalkeeper who is comfortable with his feet, finding free players and launching attack after attack."

But Tromso have lost some key players.

Munoz continued: "Their whole squad has taken a serious hit.

"They've lost two important centre-backs, as well as their 20-year-old home-grown jewel to Hull City [Jens Hjerto-Dahl]. He was more than just goals; he connected the midfield and attack."

Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler: "There’s a big opportunity for us.

"The boys worked hard through the whole of last season and we went through a lot of highs and lows together, but we always showed resilience.

"This is the reward and now it’s up to us that we will finish this work by being successful in these two games.

"It’s a big game and a big opportunity for us, but we face a strong opponent.

"We have watched a lot of their games to understand their style of play, how they like to play out from the back and how intensely they press, which is very impressive. So we shall be ready."

Club-record signing Luka Vuskovic starts for Brighton having joined for £46m from Tottenham in July.

Fellow summer signings Zadok Yohanna, Pascal Struijk, Costinha and Michael Svoboda are on the bench.

Midfielder Carlos Baleba, linked with Manchester United, is not in the squad, although the 22-year-old is reportedly dealing with an ankle injury.

Brighton XI: Verbruggen, Kadioglu, Boscagli, Vuskovic, Wieffer, Yalcouye, Gross, Gomez, Ayari, Osman, Georginio.

Subs: Steele, McGill, Struijk, Dunk, Hinshelwood, Kostoulas, Costinha, Cozier-Duberry, De Cuyper, Svoboda, Yohanna, Oriola.

Tromso goalkeeper Jakob Haugaard is fit enough to start despite picking up a thigh injury this month.

He was in goal for Wigan when Brighton reached the Premier League in 2017 by beating the Latics 2-1.

Vince Osuji, who only joined the club yesterday from Club Brugge, is on the bench.

Trosmo XI: Haugaard, Tonnessen, Skjaervik, Vadebu, Warneryd, Dahlqvist, Olden Larsen, Jenssen, Edvardsson, Heine Larsen, Nyhammer

Subs: Grundt, Braut, Lauvli, Ekblom, Camoes, Hien, Osuji, Oyvann, Mikkelsen, Sarr, Innvaer.

The Brighton players have refunded the tickets for the 407 travelling Albion support today.

And each fan will also get a scarf and t-shirt.

"The fans didn't know where they were going until the last minute. It's a long trip for the them, last minute to organise," said captain Lewis Dunk.

"We thought we want to start the season off well for the fans and make a gesture by refunding their tickets as a group.

"Hopefully the fans appreciate this gesture from the players and it's a good start to a good season with them and we can all enjoy it along the way."

The Conference League gives Brighton one of their best chances of silverware yet.

Albion have never won a major trophy before in their history.

But three of the five Conference Leagues to date have been won by English teams - including two who do not win much in West Ham and Crystal Palace (Chelsea are the other).

There is full live radio commentary from BBC Radio Sussex available on this page - and on the radio.

Brighton had to wait 122 years for their first crack in Europe.

But they have only had to wait three years for their next chance.

Today they start their Conference League bid with a play-off first leg in northern Norway against Tromso.
