Kristiansund vs Bodo Glimt Prediction
Kristiansund vs Bodo Glimt Prediction and Betting Tips for this weekend’s Eliteserien action at Nordmore Stadion. Bodo/Glimt look to get their title charge back on track after a disappointing loss last time out. Dive into our Eliteserien Predictions for more expert picks and stats.
- Kristiansund are unbeaten in their last three matches but struggle at home.
- Bodo/Glimt have won 11 straight games against Kristiansund.
- Glimt are the league’s best defensive side with just 10 goals conceded.
Kristiansund come into Saturday’s clash hoping to build on a resilient display against Haugesund, where they secured a goalless draw. While their defensive discipline was clear – allowing no big chances – they were limited going forward, managing just one shot on target. The hosts have found the net 13 times in their last five games but continue to leak goals, conceding 11 in that span. Worryingly, they have lost three of their last four home matches, and their record against Bodo/Glimt doesn’t inspire confidence.
Head coach Amund Skiri will rely on striker Alioune Ndour and wingers Rezan Corlu and Mustapha Isah to try to unlock the visitors’ defence. Knut Andre Skjaerstein is likely to start in goal due to injuries to both Adrian Saether and Michael Lansing. Kristiansund’s tendency to be inconsistent at home means they must produce something special to halt a side that has historically dominated this fixture.
Bodo/Glimt, meanwhile, are aiming to bounce back after a frustrating 2-1 defeat to Sarpsborg 08. Despite firing 29 shots, they failed to create a big chance and were left exposed defensively. Still, Kjetil Knutsen’s men remain Eliteserien’s strongest defensive unit, conceding an average of just one goal per game. They had three straight clean sheets prior to last weekend’s slip and boast four games in hand over the leaders, keeping their title hopes alive.
Superlaget will need to improve their away form, having lost three of their last four on the road. With the likes of Kasper Hogh and Jens Petter Hauge leading the attack and Patrick Berg marshalling midfield, Bodo/Glimt should have enough firepower to extend their dominant head-to-head run. Their impressive record against Kristiansund – winning 11 straight encounters – makes them strong favourites in our Eliteserien Predictions for this week.
Bodo/Glimt’s dominance over Kristiansund is clear from their 11-match winning streak in head-to-head meetings, including big-margin wins in recent clashes where they’ve scored at least four goals. Kristiansund, while showing flashes of defensive solidity, struggle for consistency at Nordmore Stadion, losing three of their last four home matches. The visitors have the league’s tightest defence, conceding only 10 goals all season, and they score an average of 2 goals per game. Although they slipped up at Sarpsborg 08, they created 29 shots, showing the attacking threat is there. With players like Kasper Hogh and Jens Petter Hauge in form, Bodo/Glimt should have the quality to cover a -1.5 handicap against a side that concedes an average of 1.2 goals per match. Kristiansund’s limited firepower, highlighted by just one shot on target last time out, reinforces the value on Bodo/Glimt to win by two or more goals.
