The Norwegian top flight action continues on Sunday and our next fixture features a clash between Odd and Haugesund as the betting tips continue at the Skagerak Arena in Skien.
Odd BK Prediction- Can Odd extend 100% winning record?
2nd placed Odd were handed a 2-0 defeat away from home at Sarpsborg last time out in the Norwegian top flight which ended their recent winning streak.
Prior to the 2-0 loss, Odd had registered 4 league wins on the trot with victories against Stromsgodset, Tromso, Ranheim and Lillestrom.
This recent winning streak has helped lift Odd up into 2nd place in the Eliteserien but are still some way off the league leaders, Molde.
Odd still find themselves 6 points adrift of Molde, but another home win here could see Odd reduce the points deficit to just 3.
The hosts also still possess a 100% winning record on home turf at their Skagerak Arena with an impressive record which stands at 5-0-0 9/3.
Indeed, Odd have won 8 of their last 9 matches on home soil and with striker Borven (7 goals) in early goalscoring form, the home side look in good shape to record a sixth straight win here.
Haugesund Prediction – Can Haugesund stay close to top three?
Haugesund sit in a mid-table position in the Norwegian top flight in 8th place but bring a solid 5-match unbeaten sequence into this encounter.
Two wins and three draws have helped maintain Haugesund’s outside challenge for a top three finish as they trail 3rd placed Bodo/Glimt by just 4 points.
Wins against Rosenborg and Mjondalen, 2-0 and 4-1 and both away from home along with points picked up in draws with Bodo/Glimt, Kristiansund and Brann have seen the visitors improve.
The visitors have also picked up 3 wins from their last 4 outings on their travels amidst an away record of 3-0-2 10/5, so they’ll be confident of getting something here.
However, just 6 wins out of their last 16 matches away from home means that Haugesund are far from guaranteed of taking all three points in this clash.
In addition, Haugesund’s last visit to the Skagerak Arena ended in a heavy 4-0 thrashing against today’s opponents, Odd.
