There’s action from the Norwegian top flight on Monday with our next preview featuring a clash between Stromsgodset and Bodo/Glimt as the betting tips continue at the Marienlyst Stadion with the hosts looking to close the gap on the teams above them.
Stromsgodset Prediction – Can Stromsgodset end winless streak?
After a disappointing sequence of 6 matches without a win in the Norwegian top flight, Stromsgodset sit bottom of the division.
The hosts now find themselves 4 points adrift of their nearest relegation rivals, second from bottom side, Sarpsborg ahead of this Monday night fixture.
5 defeats from their last 6 matches overall in the Eliteserien certainly hasn’t done Stromsgodset any favours as they seek to end this worrying run of results.
Defeats to Ranheim, Bodo/Glimt (away), Molde, Stabaek and Lillestrom have now left the hosts 6 points behind Stabaek and safety.
Stromsgodset possess a disappointing home record of 2-1-4 10/15 but both of their league wins to date have been recorded at their Marienlyst Stadion.
Wins over Haugesund 3-2 and Tromso 3-1 aren’t enough to convince of a straight win for the hosts here, but goals have featured on a regular basis.
5 of Stromsgodset’s 7 home matches to date have resulted in over 2.5 goals scored in each match, and this trend looks set to continue here.
5 of the last 6 meetings between these two sides have resulted in over 2.5 goals scored.
Bodo/Glimt Prediction – Can Djurgarden win 3 on the bounce?
High-flying Bodo/Glimt currently occupy 3rd place on the Norwegian top flight ladder thanks to 4 wins from their last 5 matches overall.
Recent victories against Stromsgodset (at home), Viking, Odd and Ranheim have helped lift the visitors to within 3 points of 2nd placed Odd.
Results away from home though have been a little more modest as they’ve produced mixed returns in recent matches on their travels.
Back-to-back wins at Tromso 2-1 and Viking 4-3 have been offset by defeats to Stabaek and Valerenga – the latter ending in a heavy 6-0 loss.
An overall away record of 3-1-2 12/17 includes an earlier high-scoring win away at Mjondalen with Bodo/Glimt recording a 5-4 victory in an entertaining clash.
Again, I’m hesitant to pull the trigger on Bodo/Glimt on the road in this one, but goals have also featured heavily in their away matches this season.
4 of Bodo/Glimt’s 6 away matches have resulted in over 2.5 goals and the visitors possess some dangerous attacking personnel in their line-up.
Midfielder Evjen (4 goals) along with forwards Layouni (8 goals) and Herrem (6 goals) look the most likely to notch for then visitors.
Key-Facts – Stromsgodset v Bodo/Glimt
- 5 of Stromsgodset’s 7 home matches to date have resulted in over 2.5 goals
- 4 of Bodo/Glimt’s 6 away matches have resulted in over 2.5 goals
- 5 of the last 6 meetings between these two sides have resulted in over 2.5 goals
Betting Tips Verdict
Stromsgodset will be desperate to get a win under their belts while Bodo/Glimt are dangerous in attacking areas.
