Bodo Glimt v Odd Best Bet
There is a feeling of less reliability with Bodo Glimt right now but this is a match they should be winning fairly easily. Odd are one of the poorest sides in the Eliteserien this season with a shocking defensive record. Glimt have won 6 of their last 10 games by a two-goal margin or more so taking the -1 handicap.
This covers a 2-0 or 3-0 win should the game go under its current goal line. It has been a while since Odd took a proper beating but this is a difficult challenge, even if Glimt have now sold their top player Albert Gronbaek. Despite losing last week, the hosts racked up nearly 30 shots v Sandefjord and on another day probably wouldn’t have lost. Odd are unlikely to match up to them well, so a routine Bodo Glimt victory in front of their own fans is to be expected.
📊 Bodo Glimt Form and Stats
Kjetil Knutsen’s men started the season like a train with 7 wins in their first 8 fixtures. However, they have been slightly off the boil for a while now and since have only won 3 of their last 7 encounters. They returned from the Euros break with an unconvincing victory 2-1 away to Sarpsborg but it looked like they were back on track after hammering Brann 5-1.
Last week, they suffered a massive shock defeat, 2-1, to bottom of the table Sandefjord which came out of nowhere and perhaps highlighted the fact they are slightly vulnerable at the moment. Glimt still have the best attacking record in the Eliteserien with 33 goals and the best defensive record, only conceding 12.
📊 Odd Form and Stats
After 15 games played, Odd find themselves inside the Eliteserien relegation zone on 14 points. It’s a very congested part of the table though and only four points separates 9th to 16th. Odd have only won three matches in 2024 which is the joint-least in the league along with Sandefjord.
Most of their better results were in the early phase of the season and they have obtained just a solitary victory since 17th April. Odd have the joint-worst defensive record (27 goals conceded), while only Haugesund have scored fewer than their tally of 15 goals.
⚔️ Bodo Glimt v Odd Head-to-Head
These two teams have met each other twice a year for the last seven seasons. This is the first meeting in the 2024 campaign. Bodo Glimt have won 5 of the last 7 encounters, including some impressive big victories here at Aspmyra Stadion, 7-0 and 6-1.
Last season, the defending Eliteserien champions bagged a pair of 2-0 victories against Odd. However, Odd were competitive outshooting their opponents 21-17 with 10 shots on target to 7. Odd have not won at this stadium in any of their last seven visits which dates back to 2015.
