The Norwegian Eliteserien returns with a fresh set of fixtures as Sandefjord Fotball and Bodo/Glimt go head-to-head at the Komplett Arena on Sunday (July 23).
Sandefjord continue to struggle, as they suffered a 4-2 defeat to Lillestrom last Sunday. Andreas Tegstrom’s men have gone four games without a win, picking up just one point from a possible 12 since their 4-1 win over Odds on June 4.
With ten points from 13 games, the Hvalfangerne are 15th in the Eliteserien, three points above rock-bottom Aalesund.
Meanwhile, Bodo/Glimt maintained their superb run of results, coming from behind to claim a 2-1 victory over a digest Haugesund side. Knudsen’s men are unbeaten in five games across competitions. winning four, including a 2-0 victory over HamKam in the NM Cup quarterfinals on July 13.
With 38 points from 15 games, Bodo/Glimt are atop the league table with a healthy nine-point lead over second-placed Vikings.
The two teams have endured contrasting campaigns, with Tegstrom’s men languishing in the relegation zone. Given the gulf in quality and experience between the sides, the Glimt should ease to a comfortable win.
Prediction: Sandefjord 1-3 Bodo/Glimt
Tip 1: Result - Bodo/Glimt
Tip 2: First to score - Bodo/Glimt (The Glimt have opened the scoring in five of their last seven meetings with Sandefjord.)
Tip 3: Less than 4.5 cards - Yes (There have been fewer than five bookings in their last ten clashes.)
