• Bodo Glimt sit top of the Eliteserien having won 14 of their 20 matches.

• Bodo Glimt recently qualified for the Champions League for the first time.

• Kristiansund have conceded 19 goals across their 10 away games so far this season.

🟡 Bodo Glimt Chasing the Title

The Eliteserien is usually a pretty competitive league. Bodo Glimt lifted the title last year but only secured the trophy by a margin of three points. It looks like they’ll be run close again here by a Viking side that have matched their record in the league up until this point (14 wins, 3 draws, 3 losses).

This pressing threat means that this is a crucial period of the season for Bodo Glimt. They’ll be competing in the Champions League for the first time next week which is a factor that could end up playing in Viking’s favour. Bodo Glimt must also face Brann, sitting in third, before the end of the season so there are still plenty of outcomes for the Championship battle in Norway.

⚫ Kristiansund Should be Concerned

Kristiansund are on a dismal run of form having won just one of their last 10 matches across all competitions. This win did come on the road, but it was against Sarpsborg who are just one point and one place above Kristiansund as it stands.

It’s hard to see where Kristiansund find the quality to truly test this Bodo Glimt side. The advantage they do have is that Bodo Glimt’s main striker in Kasper Hogh will be injured for this game, leaving the home side with a hole the size of 17 goals to fill.
