Runners-up in last season's Eliteserien, Bodo/Glimt will be looking to extend their unbeaten run to five matches when they travel to struggling KFUM Oslo this weekend.
Both sides return to domestic action following the mid-season break caused by the 2026 FIFA World Cup, with the visitors aiming to continue their push towards the top of the table.
Kjetil Knutsen's side are chasing an eighth league victory of the campaign and could move from third to second with another three points, depending on results elsewhere.
KFUM, meanwhile, have won just one of their last five Eliteserien matches and sit 12th with 12 points. Another poor result could see Kaffa dragged closer towards the relegation playoff places.

Following a narrow escape from relegation last season, KFUM would have been hoping for a much-improved campaign this time around.
However, they return from the World Cup break just one point clear of the relegation playoff places and with only one victory from their previous five Eliteserien fixtures.
The break arguably arrived at an unfortunate time for Isnes's men, who appeared to be finding some form before the pause.
A 2-0 victory over fellow strugglers Rosenborg was followed by an impressive goalless draw against high-flying Tromso.
KFUM were unable to carry that momentum into their mid-season friendlies, though, losing both matches they played during the break.
A heavy 5-1 defeat against Molde was particularly concerning ahead of their return to league action.
As for the travelling side, third-placed Bodo/Glimt also entered the break in strong form and have continued that momentum with positive results in their own friendly fixtures.
Knutsen's side won three and drew one of their four matches during the pause, keeping themselves within touching distance of league leaders Tromso and Viking.
A fourth victory in five Eliteserien matches would move Bodo/Glimt into second place and strengthen their hopes of challenging for another domestic title as the season reaches its decisive stage.
They will, however, be without Patrick Berg, Fredrik Bjorkan and Jens Petter Hauge, with the trio away on international duty as Norway prepare for a historic World Cup quarter-final clash against England.
The Super Team have won four top-flight titles since 2020 but narrowly missed out on a fifth last term after finishing just one point behind champions Viking.

Whispers predicts: KFUM 0-3 Bodo/Glimt
Bodo/Glimt head into this fixture as strong favourites after an impressive run of form before and during the mid-season break.
We expect Knutsen's side to claim a fourth victory from their last five league matches, with an away win priced at 12/25 by the bookmakers.
The visitors have built their season around a strong defensive record, conceding just 11 goals in the Eliteserien so far, and we are backing Bodo/Glimt to keep a clean sheet at 5/4 with BTTS – No looking a strong option against a KFUM side who have scored just 12 times this campaign.
Kasper Hogh has been one of the standout performers for Bodo/Glimt this season, with the striker scoring seven goals in just 10 appearances, and he could be a worthwhile anytime goalscorer option.
> BTTS – No at 5/4 | Likelihood: Probable
> Bodo/Glimt 12/25 | Likelihood: Probable
> Correct score 0-3 at 11/1 | Likelihood: Outsider
