Bodo/Glimt continued their unbeaten run with a 2-1 win over Sarpsborg 08 in their last outing. Henrik Meister opened the scoring for Sarpsborg 08 in the 23rd minute before Patrick Berg drew Bodo/Glimt level in the 52nd minute, and Franklin Tebo Uchenna scored in his own net in the 90+2nd minute to win it all for Bodo/Glimt. With this win, Glimt are unbeaten in their last four games. They have lost just once in their previous eight games. Bodo/Glimt sit 1st on the table with 30 points in 13 games, scoring 27 goals and conceding 9. 

23-year-old Danish Albert Gronbaek will be a player to watch in this clash. He is the highest goal scorer in the league, with eight goals.

Brann were held to a goalless draw in their last game against Stromsgodset. Brann had 68% of the possession of the ball but just 2 of their 19 shots were on target. They remain unbeaten in their last four games. They are also unbeaten in their previous three away games. They have lost just one of their last nine games. They sit second on the table with 28 points in 14 games, scoring 22 and conceding 13. Eirik Horneland’s men finished last season second, and they seem to be on the course of challenging for the league this time around.

• Moonga Simba is a doubt for this clash due to an undiclosed injury.
• Jonas Torsvik is a doubt for this clash due to a groin injury.
• Mads Sande's availability is doubtful due to an ACL injury.

Bodo/Glimt — Nikita Khaikin, Adam Sørensen, Jostein Gundersen, Brede Moe, Fredrik Sjøvold, Ulrik Saltnes, Patrick Berg, Håkon Evjen, Jens Petter Hauge, Kasper Høgh, August Mikkelsen.

Brann — Mathias Dyngeland, Svenn Crone, Fredrik Pallesen Knudsen, Japhet Sery, Ruben Kristiansen, Emil Kornvig, Sivert Heltne Nilsen, Felix Horn Myhre, Magnus Warming, Bård Finne, Niklas Castro.

This clash is perhaps the most interesting clash of the weekend, and I expect it to live up to its billing. Six of the last seven games of Brann produced at least three goals, with the previous three meetings ending with four goals. Not only that, three goals or more were seen in four of the last seven games of Bodo/Glimt. Brann scored at least twice in seven of their previous nine matches, and three of those games were away games. Additionally, Brann are unbeaten in their last three games against Glimt, so they should be able to pick up at least a point here.
