The Bodø / Glimt & Vålerenga managers K. Knutsen and D. Fagermo are both dreading and looking forward to this decisive game in the upper regions of the Eliteserien league table.
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
These teams have little in common geographically as Vålerenga have to travel 1100 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
