Bodo/Glimt will invite Valerenga to Aspmyra Stadion in the Eliteserien on Saturday. Glimt are in fourth place in the league table with 29 points, seven fewer than league leaders Viking, and have three games in hand. Bohemene are 11th in the standings with 19 points.
The hosts have enjoyed a good run of form and are unbeaten in their last four league games. They extended their winning streak to three games last week, recording a 4-2 away triumph over Viking. Håkon Evjen, Kasper Høgh, and Odin Lurås Bjørtuft scored in the first half, and Joe Bell's own goal in the second half helped them conclude the match with a two-goal lead.
The visitors returned to winning ways after two games in their previous outing with a 3-0 home triumph over Haugesund. After a goalless first half, Brice Ambina broke the deadlock in the 64th minute, and substitute Elias Sørensen bagged a seven-minute brace.

Superlaget head into the match on a three-game winning streak, keeping two clean sheets. They are on a seven-game winning streak in this fixture and are strong favorites.
The Royal Blues registered their first win of the month last week and will look to build on that form. They have conceded at least three goals in five of their last six meetings against the visitors, which is a cause for concern.
Considering Glimt's current form and home record in this fixture, we back them to register a win.
