Just two points and three places separate both Fredrikstad and Bodo/Glimt in the Eliteserien table at the time of writing as they prepare to face off against each other on Wednesday evening. The hosts are currently in eighth place on 21 points after 14 games played, while the visitors are in fifth spot on 23 points having also played two fewer matches in the division than their opponents.
Bodo also have the extra motivation of potentially being able to break into the European places with all three points, while Fredrikstad could leapfrog their opponents with victory themselves. Nonetheless, this promises to be an entertaining affair in the Norwegian top flight.

Player to watch: Kasper Hogh
In Bodo's last four wins in the Eliteserien, Kasper Hogh has been heavily involved. Indeed, he scored and assisted in their 2-0 win at home to Sandefjord last time out, and in the three victories prior, he has produced a further two goals and one assist, showing that he is the ultimate danger man that Fredriksad need to try and keep quiet come Wednesday evening.
