Odd preview: Can they keep their solid form going
With a win and a couple of draws in the last three games in the league, Odd have done well ahead of the break in the Eliteserien and now they're hoping they can pick things up from there. Overall, it's been a mediocre season for them, with 13 points from 12 matches.
Zakaria Mugeese, Torgeir Borven, and Sondre Solholm Johansen are out with injuries, while Leon Hien is doubtful.

Kristiansund preview: Not a great season so far
Just like Odd, their next opponent Kristiansund have also only won 13 points from 12 games in the Eliteserien, which puts them just three points ahead of the first team in the relegation zone. On the bright side, they did manage to break a bad streak with a win over Sarpsborg in the last round.
When it comes to team news, Marius Olsen remains on the sidelines with an injury.

Player to watch: Pape Habib Gueye
The 24-year-old forward from Senegal is having a solid season for Kristiansund so far, with four goals in the Eliteserien and he's our player to watch against Odd.
Can Gueye score first?
While it is a small sample size, Gueye did score the first goal of the match twice this season and we wouldn't be too surprised if he does it again on Friday.
