The defending champions of Norway are on their way to defend the title since they're currently at the top of the standings with two points more than their next opponent Brann, but also with a game in hand. With just one loss in 13 matches in the league this season, Bodo/Glimt have been in great form since the start.
When it comes to team news, Syver Skeide, Sondre Sorli, and Kasper Waarts Hogh are out with injuries, while Runar Espejord and Sondre Brunstad Fet remain doubtful.

Brann preview: On a mission to take the top spot
While Brann are currently second in the standings, Bodo/Glimt are only two points ahead, although they do have a game in hand over Brann as well. Still, with Bodo/Glimt being Brann's next opponent, a win in this duel would put them at the top of the Eliteserien, at least for a while.
Meanwhile, Mads Sande, Jonas Torsvik, Niklas Jensen Wassberg, and Moonga Simba are on Brann's injury list at this time.

Player to watch: Albert Groenbaek
With eight goals in the league so far, the 23-year-old midfielder has been in good form and he's not the leading scorer not just in the club, but also the entire Eliteserien.
Can Groenbaek score more than once?
We saw Groenbaek score multiple goals in one game twice already this season in the Eliteserien. Can he do it again in the upcoming match with Brann?
