Bodo/Glimt and Sandefjord will battle for three points in an Eliteserian matchday 25 fixture on Sunday (October 9).
The hosts are coming off a 3-0 defeat at Arsenal in the UEFA Europa League. Eddie Nketiah and Rob Holding scored first-half goals to set the tone before Fabio Vieira capped off a wonderful display with an 84th-minute strike.
The Norwegian champions will turn their attention to the domestic scene as they seek a return to winning ways. Bodo claimed maximum points in a 4-1 away victory over Lillestrom last weekend. Amahl Pellegrino had an eventful game, contributing a goal and two assists.
Sandefjord, meanwhile, shared the spoils in a 1-1 draw with Sarpsborg at home. Mohamed Ofkir's first half opener for the hosts was cancelled out by Gustav Engvall's 78th-minute equaliser.
The draw has left the Hvalfangerne floundering in the relegation zone. They are now three points away from safety. Bodo/Glimt, meanwhile, are in second spot, a whopping 15 points behind runaway leaders Molde.

Sandefjord, meanwhile, are overwhelming underdogs and are unlikely to pose much of a threat.
