Specialist in Scandinavian & European soccer. I have been in the betting game for nearly 20 years now with a summer focus on the Norwegian & Swedish leagues. With an in-depth knowledge of the region & teams I have been involved in a specialist podcast & more for close to a decade. My favourite types of bets are attacking the goal lines and identifying the tactics & style of each team & manager who can contribute positively. Outside of betting I was once a Sunday League goalkeeper myself. But my boots are now retired and instead prefer to hit up the cricket pitch and golf course in my spare time.
⭐ Bodo/Glimt vs Sandefjord Bet Builder Quick Tips
- Bodo/Glimt vs Sandefjord
- Norwegian Eliteserien
- 15:00
The last six meetings between these sides have all been BTTS Yes
Bodo/Glimt have won five of the last seven head-to-head meetings, but Sandefjord took four points off of them last season
Nine of the last 10 Bodo/Glimt Eliteserien matches have gone over 2.5 goals
Defending champions Bodo/Glimt have dropped significant points in the last two weeks and now face a high flying Sandefjord side who took four points off them last season. They are down as low as 6th in the Eliteserien table and although they have games in hand, the gap to top of the table Viking has extended to 16 points.
Sandefjord are up to 5th in the table, although they do have a poor away record. Bodo/Glimt are therefore priced at 1.25 to win the game and over 2.5 goals is very short at 1.28. Sandefjord are as big as 9.0 to win the game and the draw at 6.50.
🟡 Bodo/Glimt Have Made a Habit of Conceding Late
Nobody expected Bodo/Glimt to lose against Sarpsborg in their most recent home game, especially after leading 1-0. Some very sloppy defending and poor finishing cost them and it was a lazy performance. They outshot Sarpsborg 29 to 10 and won the xG battle 1.84 to 1.45. It was eerily similar for Glimt last week against Kristiansund (1-1). They dominated the match but conceded a late equaliser. Kjetil Knutsen’s men won the shot count 20-8 and the xG count 1.92 to 0.56, but yet again, dropped silly points.
Glimt have the 6th best home record with four wins and two defeats. Their underlying metrics are still very encouraging, having the second best average xG per game in the Eliteserien (1.89). They also have the best average xGA (0.95) and are the only team to average less than one goal against per game in this metric.
🔵 Sandefjord Are Reaching Dizzy Heights
This could turn into a season to remember for Sandefjord. They are 5th in the table which is remarkably high when you consider that this team has been involved in the relegation battle in recent seasons - they haven’t finished in the top half of the Eliteserien table since 2009. Sandefjord average 1.79 xG per game which is the 3rd most in the Eliteserien. They also rank in the bottom half for average xGA (1.57).
The cornerstone to Sandefjord’s success has come at home, where they possess an impressive 100% record with six wins from six. They have, however, lost five of their six away games, so the indications are that this could be a tricky road trip for them.
📊 Bodo/Glimt vs Sandefjord Head-to-Head Key Stats
Glimt have won five of the last seven H2H meetings, but Sandefjord did take four points off them last season. The fixture here at Asphyra Stadion resulted in a 1-1 draw and Sandefjord shockingly beat Glimt 2-1 in the reverse fixture at odds of 5.0 as an underdog.
The last six consecutive H2H meetings have resulted in BTTS yes with five of those contests going over 2.5 goals. It has historically been quite a high scoring affair with three of the last six meetings going over 4.5 goals.
