Rosenborg will invite league leaders Bodo/Glimt to the Lerkendal Stadion in the Eliteserien on Sunday. Glimt have a two-point lead at the top of the league standings over second-placed Viking.
The hosts returned to winning ways after two consecutive defeats in their previous outing, with a 3-0 away triumph over Haugesund. Amund Wichne's own goal gave them the lead in the fourth minute, while Dino Islamović and Ulrik Yttergård Jenssen scored in the first and second halves, respectively.
The visitors met Kristiansund in their first league game back since the international break last week and registered a dominant 7-1 win. They made their UEFA Champions League debut earlier this week and were held to a 2-2 draw by Slavia Praha. Late goals from Daniel Bassi and Sondre Brunstad Fet helped them avoid a loss in that match.
