The World Cup is taking a breather until the semi-finals get underway but there's some top-flight action in Scandinavia to keep punters amused today.
Viking Stavanger have got off a flier in Norway and the champions will fancy their chances on the road against Sarpsborg.
Their hosts are sitting in mid-table so Viking will be looking to bank three more points as they bid to fend off Tromso and Bodo/Glimt in what's looking like a three-team title race.
Sarpsborg vs Viking top betting tips
Viking have flown out the traps in the new Eliteserien season, winning nine of their first 10 games, but were knocked off top spot by Tromso yesterday.
However, the new leaders have now played four games more and the champions can move two points clear again with a win today.
Viking's only slip so far came in the first game of the season and they've won nine in a row since then so it's no surprise to see them as 4/5 favourites with Bet365.
Sarpsborg's form has picked up, with three wins in their last four, but I still fancy the leaders and adding on over 2.5 goals boosts the odds to 13/10. That bet has landed in six of the last seven Viking games.
BTTS has also landed in six of the leaders' 10 league games and combining that with over 2.5 goals pays 8/11. There's more value in over 1.5 first-half strikes at 6/5.
KFUM vs Bodo/Glimt
Bodo/Glimt look like the most realistic title challengers to Viking, sitting four points behind having played just a game more, and have the chance to keep the pressure on when they travel to struggling KFUM today.
Kjetil Knutsen's side became media darlings last season due to their Champions League exploits but they lost their domestic crown to Viking.
A 5-0 thrashing from the champions on the second day of the new campaign left Bodo/Glimt reeling but they're recovered well and have lost just once more since then.
Rumours of Knutsen joining Strasbourg have rocked the club this week and it will be interesting to see if that affects their performance today.
But Bet365 still have them as 12/25 jollies today against a KFUM side who have won just three of their 11 matches so far.
Bodo/Glimt have scored two or more in their last four outings so combining a win for them with over 2.5 strikes should pay off at 20/23.
Midfielder Hakon Evjen has scored five times this term, including one from the spot, and looks decent value for another goal at 7/4.
Brommapojkarna vs Sirius
There's action in Sweden today as well and surprise leaders Sirius will be looking to stay clear at the top with a win on the road against Brommapojkarna.
Nobody expected the modest club from Uppsala to mount a push for the title but they've flown out the traps, going unbeaten across their first 11 league games.
Nine of those matches have been wins and they'll be confident of putting three more points on the board away to mid-table Brommapojkarna.
The leaders are just 5/8 with Bet365 for another win but adding on over 2.5 goals boost the odds to 23/20. That stands a decent chance as we've seen over 2.5 strikes in each of Sirius' last four games.
Scottish striker Robbie Ure has been on fire for the Swedish leaders, with a four-goal haul in their last game against Mjallby taking his season's tally to 11. He's 20/21 with Bet365 for anytime scorer today and that looks a good price.
