Bodo/Glimt v Sandefjord

Bodo/Glimt vs Sandefjord Preview

Bodo/Glimt were held to a frustrating 2-2 draw at home by seventh placed KFUM on Friday night which became the hosts' second game without a win in the Norwegian top flight but the hosts now have the perfect opportunity to return to winning ways in the Eliteserien when they play host to lowly Sandefjord at their Aspmyra Stadion on Wednesday night.

The upcoming hosts were dealt a disappointing 1-0 loss away from home at Ham/Kam in the match before but nevertheless, Bodo/Glimt still occupy top spot in the Norwegian top flight table where they hold a two-point lead over second placed Fredrikstad prior to the midweek action in the domestic top flight.

Prior to this recent mini slump, Bodo/Glimt had started out of the blocks in impressive fashion as Kjetil Knutsen's side had picked up seven wins in their opening eight games overall which includes wins on home soil at their Aspmyra Stadion over the likes of Viking, Stromsgodset and Tromso respectively.

Results and form overall at their Aspmyra Stadion have proved Bodo/Glimt to be a tough side to beat in their own backyard and this is underlined by the fact that the hosts have suffered just one defeat out of their last 24 home games in the Eliteserien.

Sandefjord find themselves sitting second from bottom in the Norwegian top flight table and therefore in the relegation zone having lost each of their last three games on the trot with the visitors slipping to recent defeats at the hands of Brann, Viking and Haugesund respectively.

Wednesday night's visitors have managed to collect just two wins within their opening nine games to date this term which were important victories over Molde and Sarpsborg but it's also worth noting that these two wins were both achieved on home soil at their Jotun Arena.

However, Sandefjord have also been dealt no fewer than six defeats within their opening nine games so far this season and this certainly does not bode well for this upcoming trip to the Aspmyra Stadion where they'll be facing the Eliteserien league leaders, Bodo/Glimt.

In addition, poor results away from home spread over a long period of time for Hans Erik Odegaard's side have also not done Sandefjord any favours as the visitors have managed to register just two wins from their last 27 outings on the road overall which also includes slipping to no fewer than 22 defeats within this period as well.

Bodo/Glimt v Sandefjord Verdict

Bodo/Glimt have kept six clean sheets out of their last 11 home games and given Sandefjord's poor record of results away from home in the domestic top flight, a comfortable win to nil for Bodo/Glimt is expected here.

Therefore, our main bet will be BTTS No @ 1.95
