 After losing 1-0 to Haugesund in round 15, Viking have remained unbeaten. They first secured a 1-0 win over Molde before recording a 3-3 draw in their last game against HamKam. They are unbeaten in 9 of their last ten games in all competitions. They have won their last four home games and sit 3rd on the table with 32 points in 17 games, scoring 30 goals and conceding 20. However, Nick D'Agostino (leg injury) and Franco Lino (thigh injury) are all out of this clash.

Bodo/Glimt continued their unbeaten run, coming from behind twice to defeat Haugesund 4-2 in their last game. They have also been superb outside the league, with a 1-0 away win against Jagiellonia in the first leg of the Champions League qualification semifinals. They remain unbeaten in their last six games. They sit first on the table with 40 points in 18 games, scoring 41 goals and conceding 16. However, Nino Zugelj, Brice Wembangomo, Daniel Bassi, Omar Elabdellaoui, Gaute Vetti, Runar Espejord, and Syver Skeide are out due to injuries.

Viking — Arild Østbø, Sondre Bjorshol, Sondre Langås, Gianni Stensness, Jost Urbancic, Harald Tangen, Joe Bell, Simen Kvia-Egeskog, Sander Svendsen, Peter Christiansen, Zlatko Tripic.

Bodo/Glimt — Nikita Khaikin, Fredrik Sjøvold, Brede Moe, Jostein Gundersen, Fredrik Bjørkan, Ulrik Saltnes, Patrick Berg, Hakon Evjen, Jens Petter Hauge, Oscar Kapskarmo, August Mikkelsen.

Even though Bodo/Glimt have seen a series of injuries, they are still a strong side and have a huge chance of escaping a defeat in this clash. However, I expect both sides to score in this clash, and the second half will see a lot of productivity.
