Fredrikstad v Bodo/Glimt Bet Builder Quick Tips & Preview

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.

- Eliteserien
- 17:00
Fredrikstad ended a six game winless run by coming from behind to beat Molde 4-2 at the weekend.
Fredrikstad have the fourth best home record in the league with five wins from eight matches.
Kasper Hogh has been in great form scoring nine goals in 12 Eliteserien matches
Bodo Glimt have four games in hand over league leaders Viking and this is the first of them. They travel to Fredrikstad as the 1.60 favourites, with the draw priced at 4.20 and Fredrikstad the underdogs at 5.50.
Bodo/Glimt have great underlying metrics this season, with the 2nd best average xG per game (2.0) and best xGA (0.91) in the division. I fancy them to win here.
⚪ Comeback Win For Fredrikstad Last Time Out
Fredrikstad were not in great form, failing to win in six straight games. They trailed Molde 0-2 with eight minutes remaining at the weekend - and somehow managed to win 4-2.
It was a bonkers match which contained two own goals and a barrage of late drama. Fredrikstad won the xG battle 2.52 to 1.20, but their defence has been vulnerable recently, conceding 14 goals in their last seven games. Fredrikstad have an average xG per game of just 1.33, which is the sixth worst record of any team in the league.
🟡 Bodo/Glimt Back To Winning Ways
Bodo/Glimt have been in a mixed run of form. They shockingly lost at home to Sarpsborg (1-2) and then conceded with the last kick of the game v Kristiansund (1-1). They then had to endure a frustrating first half against Sandefjord on Saturday, having an incredible three goals disallowed before the interval.
Glimt eventually found a way to win the match 2-0 and totally dominated the contest, with 24 shots to four and xG metrics of 3.03 vs 0.07.
Their underlying metrics are still very encouraging, having the second best average xG per game in the Eliteserien (2.0). They also have the best average xGA (0.91) and are the only team to average less than 1 goal against per game in this metric.
📊 Fredrikstad v Bodo/Glimt H2H
This was the opening day fixture last season and Bodo/Glimt won 2-- although it was a grinding sort of victory.
The other match last year resulted in a 2-2 draw in early November, as Fredrikstad scored a late equaliser to rescue a point. The two teams had not met previously until as far back as 2017, when Bodo/Glimt claimed a league double.
