Bodo Glimt vs Sarpsborg 08 Prediction
Bodo Glimt vs Sarpsborg 08 Prediction and Betting Tips for Sunday’s Norwegian Eliteserien match at the Aspmyra Stadion. The reigning champions have an excellent chance to close the gap on Viking at the top of the table. Discover our top Eliteserien Predictions and insights for this clash.
- Bodo/Glimt eye a third straight league win to boost their title defence.
- Sarpsborg 08 aiming to end a poor head-to-head record vs the hosts.
- Goals look likely with both teams averaging high attacking numbers.
Bodo/Glimt are in determined mood as they continue their pursuit of a third consecutive league title. After back-to-back commanding wins over Haugesund and Brann, the hosts are brimming with confidence, having scored seven goals and kept clean sheets in both games. They remain 13 points off the summit but hold four games in hand, which keeps their title hopes very much alive. With Hogh in electric form up front, finding the net won’t be an issue for Kjetil Knutsen’s men this Sunday.
What further boosts Bodo/Glimt’s chances is their excellent recent record in this fixture. They’ve won the last eight meetings with Sarpsborg 08, including an emphatic 6-0 victory at Aspmyra Stadion last August. With a home average of three goals scored per game and only 0.8 conceded, the hosts look well placed to continue their scoring run while staying solid defensively. Expect them to come out attacking from the first whistle.
Sarpsborg 08, meanwhile, sit mid-table and arrive at this game after four matches without a win in the league. However, they did manage a morale-boosting Norwegian Cup quarter-final victory over Rosenborg on penalties. Their attacking output of 1.6 goals per game suggests they won’t sit back, especially with Karlsbakk and Berget capable of troubling the Bodo defence. But with 0.8 goals conceded on average, their backline remains vulnerable against the league’s top scorers.
Christian Michelsen’s side will need to channel that cup spirit to have any hope of snapping their long winless run against the champions. They haven’t beaten Bodo/Glimt since May 2016, but if they can take chances on the counter, they may at least find the net. For those hunting value, Eliteserien Predictions highlight that both teams to score looks promising in this fixture where open, attacking football is expected.
Both teams to score looks a smart choice for this Eliteserien clash. Bodo/Glimt average three goals scored per game and have shut out opponents in six of their nine league fixtures, but Sarpsborg’s style suggests they can break through. The visitors average 1.6 goals scored and showed attacking resilience in their 2-2 cup draw against Rosenborg before winning on penalties. With Karlsbakk netting seven in nine and Berget pushing for a start after scoring midweek, Sarpsborg have enough firepower to trouble Bodo’s backline. The hosts, meanwhile, will be on the front foot at home, where they’ve netted seven goals in two games since their Viking defeat. The attacking quality is undeniable, but with Bodo chasing a busy fixture schedule, a clean sheet is no certainty. This combination of stats and playing styles suggests a high-scoring affair where both teams should find the net.
