Sarpsborg preview: A couple of absentees
Unbeaten in their last three games across all competitions, Sarpsborg will face the worst team in the Eliteserien this weekend. The hosts defeated reigning champions Bodo/Glimt 2-1 last Sunday, their first ever win at the Aspmyra Stadion since 2016.
Looking to scale up the table, Sarpsborg are within reach of the UEFA Conference League qualification spots and must keep going in order to achieve this target.
Left-back Anders Hiim has missed the last 24 games for the club because of a torn ligament, while central midfielder Aimer Sher has also been out injured, missing the last three matches.
With no new injuries to report, Coach Christian Michelsen will likely not make any major changes to the previous starting XI.
Predicted lineup: Ndiaye (GK), Jeahze, Tebo, Koch, Wichne, Christiansen, Vestergard, Orjasaeter, Berget, Sanyang & Karlsbakk.

Haugesund preview: Eyeing their first win of the season
The visitors remain the only top-flight side yet to earn a victory this season after 12 games, losing 10 and drawing two, and they stay rooted at the bottom of the table.
After eight successive losses across all competitions, Haugesund managed to register a goalless draw last Sunday against Kristiansund.
As the visitors continue to hunt for their first Eliteserien win this weekend, a clean bill of health could make the difference.
Predicted lineup: Wichne (GK), Hope, Dia, Fischer, Krusnell, Nyhammer, Leite, Bizoza, Eskesen, Seone & Konradsen.
