Norwegian term or phrase: formodningen mot seg
XXXX mener at det må vektlegges at kundeporteføljene til YYYY og ZZZZ hovedsakelig er i bedriftsmarkedet og at det av den grunn vil ha formodningen mot seg at disse selskapene ikke kan utøve kjøpermakt i forhandlingene.

Explanation:
You have a double negative in the sentence, ie "not presumed" and "not able to." The easiest would probably be to reverse both: "for this reason should be presumed that these companies can exert influence over the negotiations." If you do not want to reverse them, then I suggest: "for this reason should not be presumed that these companies would be unable to exert influence over the negotiations."
