- Bodo/Glimt eye crucial home win to keep title hopes alive
- Sandefjord aim to extend unbeaten streak against the reigning champions
- Stats reveal high-scoring potential with both sides averaging over 3 goals per match
Bodo/Glimt return to Aspmyra Stadion aiming to bounce back from late heartbreaks in recent matches. Kjetil Knutsen’s men have struggled to maintain leads, conceding in stoppage time against both Kristiansund and Sarpsborg. Despite mixed recent form, Superlaget’s attacking stats remain formidable, netting 15 goals across their last six outings and averaging 2.67 goals per match this season. The reigning champions know that a slip-up here could seriously dent their title defence, but their 100% record for matches with over 1.5 and 2.5 goals suggests plenty of action in front of goal.
The hosts do need to tighten up at the back, especially with Odin Luras Bjortuft suspended. Knutsen will likely rely on Villads Nielsen and Jostein Gundersen to shore up the defence, while the midfield trio of Hakon Evjen, Patrick Berg and Ulrik Saltnes look set to pull the strings. Up front, Kasper Hogh remains the go-to threat with eight league goals, supported by wide men Ole Didrik Blomberg and Jens Petter Hauge to stretch Sandefjord’s backline.
Sandefjord arrive in Bodo with a boost after defeating Rosenborg 2-0, a match where they created big chances and kept things tight at the back. Guttane have enjoyed a solid run, with two clean sheets in their last three matches, though their away form is cause for concern. Andreas Tegstrom’s side have lost four consecutive road games, conceding 10 goals in the process. Still, they’ve shown a habit of turning up against Bodo/Glimt, unbeaten in their last two head-to-heads and scoring regularly, with an average of one goal per match this season.
However, Sandefjord’s defensive frailties cannot be ignored. They concede an average of 2.17 goals per game and have been exposed when travelling. With winger Sebastian Holm Mathisen out injured, the visitors may lack the width needed to test Bodo’s full-backs. Tegstrom is expected to stick with Stefan Ingi Sigurdarson up top, supported by Patoulidis and Dunsby on the flanks. Expect a competitive fixture, but Bodo’s firepower could be decisive. With goals almost guaranteed on both sides, our Eliteserien Predictions suggest the home side should do enough to cover the handicap this time around.
Bodo/Glimt’s potent attack makes them strong favourites to cover a -1.5 handicap at home. They average 2.67 goals scored per match and have a perfect record for games finishing over 1.5 and 2.5 goals. Despite recent defensive lapses, their firepower should overwhelm a Sandefjord side that concedes an average of 2.17 goals per game. Sandefjord have also struggled away, losing four consecutive road matches with a combined scoreline of 10-4. Bodo’s attacking trio, led by Kasper Hogh with eight goals, is well-positioned to exploit gaps in Sandefjord’s backline, especially with key winger Holm Mathisen unavailable for the visitors. While Sandefjord can be dangerous on their day, they lack the consistency and defensive solidity needed to keep Bodo at bay at Aspmyra Stadion. With so much at stake in the title race, expect Bodo/Glimt to push aggressively and secure a comfortable margin to keep pressure on the leaders.
