Bodo/Glimt v Odd Grenland

Bodo/Glimt vs Odd Greenland Preview

Bodo/Glimt slipped up in an unexpected 2-1 defeat away from home at the bottom placed club, Sandefjord, in last weekend's Norwegian top flight action but the hosts return to their Aspmyra Stadion for this upcoming tussle with second from bottom club Odd BK no doubt keen to return to winning ways, while Odd BK were handed a second defeat on the trot last weekend, courtesy of a 2-1 loss at home to Ham/Kam.

Bodo/Glimt had previously collected an impressive three wins on the trot in the Eliteserien which has helped the hosts up into top spot in the Norwegian top flight table where they hold a four-point cushion over second placed Brann prior to this weekend's domestic top flight action.

Recent victories gained over Haugesund, Sarpsborg and Brann, the latter being a particularly comprehensive 5-1 rout of their title rivals will no doubt give the hosts plenty of confidence for this upcoming clash on Friday night.

The bigger picture shows Bodo/Glimt have lost just twice in their previous 16 games overall in the Eliteserien whilst picking up 11 wins in the process; results on home soil at their Aspmyra Stadion have also impressed as Kjetil Knutsen's side are unbeaten in their last 13 games, collecting no fewer than 10 wins in the process.

Odd BK currently occupy second from bottom position in the Eliteserien table and the visitors' predicament hasn't been helped by being dealt back-to-back defeats in recent weeks against the likes of Rosenborg and HamKam which have contributed to Odd's current place in the relegation zone.

Odd are still level on points with fourth from bottom outfit Haugesund but this upcoming trip to the Aspmyra Stadion to take on the Eliteserien leaders looks to be a daunting one for the visitors who have managed to claim just the one victory in their previous 11 games overall.

That rare highlight came in the form of a 2-1 home win against Lillestrom but Kenneth Dokken's side have also been handed six defeats within these past 11 games, three of which have been inflicted upon the visitors on their travels.

Losses on the road at Brann, Tromso and Rosenborg suggest this upcoming encounter against high-flying Bodo/Glimt is likely to be fraught with danger for the visitors, especially as Odd have recorded just two wins in their previous 13 outings on the road, slipping to seven defeats in the process.

Bodo/Glimt v Odd BK Verdict

Bodo/Glimt have won the previous three meetings on the trot against Odd BK in 2-0, 2-0 and 7-0 victories respectively and the hosts once again look to hold the upper hand heading into this Friday night's clash as well.

Therefore, our main bet will be BTTS No @ 1.95
