It's time to recharge all electronic entertainment devices for Viking, who are travelling more than 1500 kilometers to play this game.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Bodø / Glimt form and stats
OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Bodø / Glimt's two home games in the Eliteserien so far this season, having collected 4 points here at Aspmyra Stadion.
The Bodø / Glimt followers enjoyed the previous match, watching their team host Vålerenga and win 5-1. As mentioned above, Glimt "killed" Vålerenga in their previous game.

Vetlesen scored two goals, hit two key passes, dribled past the opponent 3 of 4 times and had 24 successful passes (of 30 total).

Viking form and stats
Nothing but glory last season for Viking, as they won the NM Cup.Things could have gone better for Viking in their Eliteserien away matches, but 3 points from 2 games is all right.
There might be some fixture complaints from Viking as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, 1-2 against Odd. Late heartbreak for Viking in the Odd match, as the deciding 1-2 goal came deep into overtime. Attacker Berisha got a player rating of 7.82 in the game.
