Bryne will begin their top-flight journey when they battle defending champions Bodo/Glimt at the Bryne Stadion on Sunday. The last time both sides met was in 2013. Can the hosts have a surprising start to the season? Below, I have the team news, expert betting tips, and odds.

Bryne fought hard last season to pick one of the two automatic promotion tickets in the second division. They finished second in the league with 58 points in 30 games. While they were 11 points behind the league champions, Valerenga, they were 5 points off the battle for promotion via playoffs. The team has been able to keep Sanel Bojadzic in the team despite transfer rumors during the winter window. The 26-year-old, who joined the team from Levanger last season, scored 16 goals and will continue to be a good partner for Duarte Moreira on the team. However, Jon-Helge Tveita (rib fracture) and Lars Erik Sødal (unknown injury) could miss this season opener.
Bodo/Glimt
Bodo/Glimt won the league title for the fourth time in five seasons last season. They didn’t stop there; they took their greatness to the continent and are currently in the quarterfinals of the Europa League, where they will battle Lazio in the coming weeks. After their Europa League success over Olympiacos, they played two friendlies, where they won 2-1 over Molde and lastly 8-0 over Innstrandens. However, Daniel Bassi (thigh), Syver Skeide (knee), and Gaute Vetti (ankle) are out of this game due to injuries.
Expert Betting Tips
These two sides last met in 2013, when Bodo/Glimt won 5-3. Nevertheless, it is going to be a start that Bryne didn’t pray for. Although they had an impressive last season, playing against the defending champions will be a great test. So, I don’t expect much from the hosts; rather, I expect the visitors to dominate the clash.
