Bodo/Glimt vs Sandefjord — Tips & Analysis

Bodo/Glimt -2: Bodo/Glimt have been close to untouchable on their own ground. They have won all eight home games at Aspmyra, scoring more than 3 goals a game there and letting in under one. That is the strongest reason we are backing a clear home win. They have also won by 2 or more goals in 11 of their last 18 games, so big margins are normal for this side. Sandefjord are the opposite kind of team. They have won 6, tied 5 and lost 8 of their last 19 games, and they score under 2 goals a game. Their away scoring looks healthy on paper, but it is propped up by a 15-0 cup win over an amateur side. Strip that out and there is almost no threat on the road. Their last two league games finished 1-1 and 0-0. The history is one-way too. Bodo/Glimt are 10W-3D-2L in the last 15 meetings and already won 3-0 at Sandefjord in July. We expect the leaders to be in front before the break and to add a third late, so 3-0 is the read. The risk is real. Bodo/Glimt are missing five players, and they played at Bayern Munich four days ago, losing 0-5. They have Champions League games either side of this, so a rotated team could be happy with a narrow win. We still think their home form is far too strong for Sandefjord.
