In a weekend match on Sunday Aug 20th, in week 19, Haugesund plays host to Bodø / Glimt in a clash of these two extremely mismatched Eliteserien teams. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 16 degrees, which is great football weather. In their last match, Haugesund recorded a 1-1 draw against Vålerenga. Sory Ibrahim Diarra scored the first goal for Haugesund in the 7th minute, then Petter Strand tied it up for Vålerenga in the 71st minute on a feed from Riisnaes squeezing out at least the one point for Vålerenga. Haugesund is looking for direction having earned 13 points in their last 10 matches, while in their last match, Bodø / Glimt recorded a 2-3 loss against Viking. Lars-Jørgen Salvesen struck first for Viking in the 4th minute, then Markus Solbakken added another in the 7th minute. With 19 points in their last 10 matches Bodø / Glimt should be reasonably happy with their performance.

Bruno Leite scored the first goal for Haugesund in the 3rd minute, then Faris Pemi Moumbagna tied it up for Bodø / Glimt in the 46th minute on a feed from Amahl Pellegrino But luckily in the 56th minute, they were able to complete the comback with a goal by Sondre Sorlie.
