Match Time & Date:

01:00 PM
Prediction: 1-2
Bodo/Glimt
Sarpsborg will be aiming to put an end to their dreadful winless run in the Eliteserien when they host Bodo at their Sarpsborg Stadion on Monday evening. Geir Bakke’s troops are desperate to get back on course, but they will have a big fish to fry in the clash against Bodo, who are still in the race for the trophy. The title-chasing side have been scoring goals for fun in the Norwegian elite division of late and seeing that they are high on confidence ahead of the trip to Ostfold county.
Kjetil Knutsen’s men aim to overtake Molde in top position in the standings and seeing that Sarpsborg’s recent form is anything but good, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the visiting team this time out. Sweden international Amor Layouni, who has netted 9 goals in the Eliteserien so far this term, is likely to pose a big threat for the opposition defenders.
