Bodø / Glimt come into the match as leaders of the Eliteserien and had just put together a run of league wins before stumbling to a defeat in Europe, while Vålerenga sit 11th and won their most recent league game after a patchy spell before that. Both teams therefore need the three points for different reasons: the hosts want to protect their gap at the top of the table, while the visitors want to climb out of the lower zone. Bodø / Glimt are still the most prolific team in the league, having scored 58 goals in 23 matches, and at home they tend to take the lead before half-time in almost every game, though their defence has had lapses, especially late on, where the goals they concede account for 34% of all they have let in. Vålerenga, meanwhile, have scored 38 and conceded 46 in the league; they are an open side whose games often feature goals, but their away defending is leaky enough. This game should be open from the start, as both sides tend to create chances from quick attacking moves. If Vålerenga defend compactly and don't let the hosts take an early lead, the game has a good chance of finishing without a wide margin, which is the path that keeps it interesting right to the end. What to watch after kick-off is how quickly Bodø / Glimt can turn their pressure into an early goal.
