Viking and Bodo/Glimt will battle for three points in an Eliteserien matchday 18 fixture on Saturday (August 10th). The hosts are coming into the game on the back of a 3-3 draw away to HamKam.
They twice took the lead in the game through Zlatko Tripic and Edvin Austbo. However, two own goals saw the hosts draw level on each occasion. Brynjar Bjarnasson put HamKam ahead for the first time in the 84th minute but Sander Svendsen equalized two minutes later.
Glimt, meanwhile, claimed a narrow 1-0 away win over Jagiellonia in the first leg of their UEFA Champions League qualification tie on Wednesday. Adrian Dieguez' 58th-minute own goal helped the visitors leave with the win.
