On Saturday evening, Valerenga host Bodo/Glimt at the Intility Arena, as the visitors look to maintain their position at the top of the Norwegian Eliteserien.
The home team have made a solid start to their league campaign and are currently only outside the European qualification spots courtesy of an inferior goal difference to third-place Odd BK.
A 2-1 win at Brann last time out means that the home team has won four of their previous six league outings, having suffered just one defeat in the process. Their recent league games have been relatively low-scoring of late, with under 2.5 goals scored in four of the last six outings in the Norwegian top-flight.
Dag Fagermo’s team are unbeaten in five home games in the Eliteserien, having recorded three wins and two draws.

The key to that decent run of form has been their efforts in front of goal in the Eliteserien, as they have managed to find the net at least twice in five of their last six games in the Norwegian top-flight on home soil.
Bodo/Glimt have made a promising start to their Eliteserien campaign and currently sit atop of the table. They are three points clear of second-place Molde, who have also played an extra game in the Norwegian top-flight.
The visitors are unbeaten in their 12 league games this season, having recorded an impressive 11 victories in the Eliteserien. Kjetil Knutsen’s team have been lethal in attack this season in the top-flight, scoring at least two goals in all their league outings.
A key figure in their goalscoring exploits has been Danish Kasper Junker, who has scored ten goals in the Eliteserien. The 26-year-old is the league’s top goalscorer this season.
Forebet predicts that Bodo/Glimt will record another high-scoring victory to strengthen their position at the top of the table.
