On Saturday, Vålerenga will host Bryne at 17:00. Vålerenga, currently in the hunt for a European qualification spot, will look to capitalize on home advantage against a Bryne side fighting to escape the relegation zone. With Vålerenga’s attacking prowess, they are favourites to claim all three points, making them an appealing bet for those looking for a home win.

Sunday’s fixtures kick off with Kristiansund facing Brann at 13:30. Both teams are embroiled in the relegation struggle, making this a must-win for both clubs. Expect a tightly contested match, with the stakes high and a draw potentially keeping both teams in danger.

Simultaneously, Fredrikstad will take on Haugesund, HamKam will welcome Sarpsborg 08, Sandefjord will face Bodø/Glimt, and Tromsø will meet KFUM, all at 16:00. Fredrikstad and Sandefjord are particularly under pressure, as they seek to avoid slipping further into the relegation mire. Bodø/Glimt, on the other hand, are in contention for the title and will be looking to maintain momentum.

The highlight of the weekend will be the clash between Viking and Rosenborg, also at 16:00. With both teams vying for the top of the table, this fixture has significant implications for the title race. A win for Viking could see them reclaim the top spot, while Rosenborg will be eager to disrupt their rivals’ momentum.
