Norwegian top-flight action takes place on Wednesday as Sarpsborg 08 host Bodo/Glimt.
Pipped to the Eliteserien title last season, Bodo/Glimt slumped to a heavy defeat against champions Viking last weekend and will be keen to bounce back against an opponent they have enjoyed plenty of success against in recent years.
The hosts also come into this fixture off the back of an away loss, and with both sides chasing points, an open and competitive encounter looks likely to develop at Sarpsborg Stadion.

Sarpsborg 08 and Bodo/Glimt have met on 12 occasions since 2020. Bodo/Glimt won ten of those games while Sarpsborg claimed just one win.
Sarpsborg 08 team overview
Sarpsborg come into Wednesday’s Eliteserien encounter looking to bounce back from a 2:1 defeat at Rosenborg last weekend. Aimar Sher gave Even Sel’s side an early lead in Trondheim but two goals conceded either side of half-time ensured a first defeat of the season.
Wednesday’s hosts had begun their season with four points picked up from their first two fixtures against Sandefjord (2:0) and IK Start (1:1).
Recent matches against Bodo/Glimt will offer little encouragement, though. Sarpsborg lost eight of nine previous meetings since 2021. All eight defeats saw at least three goals scored.
Head coach Sel has just one confirmed injury absence this week. Michael Opoku is sidelined with a broken ankle.

Bodo/Glimt team overview
Bodo/Glimt make the trip to Sarpsborg Stadion after a disastrous 5-0 defeat against Eliteserien champions Viking last weekend. The Champions League quarter-finalists were brought crashing back down to earth with a second 5-0 loss in less than a month, having also been beaten by the same scoreline in their quarter-final defeat to Sporting CP.
Kjetil Knutsen’s side had made a positive start to the Norwegian season. Bodo/Glimt claimed a 4:0 NM Cup win against Lillestrom before a 3:0 road victory at Kristiansund.
Rarely involved in low-scoring outcomes, each of the Yellow Horde’s last 17 fixtures finished with over 2.5 goals scored. Ten of 12 past encounters between these sides also saw a minimum of three goals.
Head coach Knutsen could make some changes to his selection after last weekend’s dismal defeat against VIking.
