Molde FK come into the match on the back of a 2-1 win at Sarpsborg 08 on Thursday. Molde FK opened the scoring shortly after half time but Sarpsborg 08 equalised 15 minutes later.
However, it took only 3 minutes for Molde FK to get back in front and they kept their opponents at bay for the remainder of the game to take maximum points.
That result means Molde FK are undefeated in each of their 5 most recent fixtures in all competitions. They have won all 5 matches, with 4 victories coming in the Eliteserien.
There have been wins over Odd and Kristiansund at home plus Aalesund and Sarpsborg 08 away.
Home form shows Molde FK have been inconsistent in the Eliteserien this season. They have won 3 and lost 2 of their 5 home league fixtures to date.
Molde FK have won each of their last 2 home league matches and both teams have scored in 3 of their last 4 on home soil, with over 2.5 goals being scored in each of their last 4 home league games.
Bodø/Glimt make the trip to the Aker Stadion having previously been held to a 2-2 draw at home by Strømsgodset in the Eliteserien on Wednesday night.
It was a disappointing result for Bodø/Glimt, who raced into a 2-0 lead after only 29 minutes. Strømsgodset pulled one back before half time and scored the equaliser with 8 minutes left on the clock.
Although Bodø/Glimt will be unhappy with the point, the result means they have extended their undefeated run to 5 games in all competitions.
There have been 2 wins in those 5 matches, with one coming in the league at Haugesund and it was a good 4-1 win.
Away form in the league shows Bodø/Glimt have won 3 of their 4 away fixtures this season. In addition to the win at Haugesund, there have been victories at Mjøndalen and Sandefjord.
Trends show Bodø/Glimt have scored 2 or more goals in 3 of their last 4 away Eliteserien matches.
Team news and Molde FK have a few players on the injury list, including Ola Brynhildsen and Eirik Ulland Andersen. Martin Ellingsen, Björn Sigurdarson, and Kristoffer Haraldseid are doubts.
Bodø/Glimt have just the one injury concern and Ola Solbakken is a doubt due to an ankle injury.
This could be the game of the weekend in Norway. We expect to see both teams score and over 2.5 goals in this match.
In terms of a winner, Molde FK are looking to build a run of wins at home and this could be their third in succession in the league this season.
