    Bodo/Glimt set for straightforward win over low-scoring Sarpsborg
    07/16/2021 4704

    Bodo/Glimt will be hoping to keep pace with Eliteserien leaders Molde when they face Sarpsborg at Sarpsborg Stadium on Saturday night.

    Bodo/Glimt currently find themselves second in the Norwegian top-flight – five points behind first-place Molde.

    Meanwhile, Sarpsborg sit twelfth in the table – six points clear of last-time Brann and 12 points behind Bodo/Glimt.

    Sarpsborg have only managed to win three of their 11 Eliteserien games this season, picking up three draws and five defeats along the way.

    They have also found the back of the net on just eight occasions, making them the lowest scorers in the division.

    Sarpsborg suffered a 2-0 loss to Sandefjord last time out, meaning they have lost four of their previous six league matches.

    With only three of their 11 league games producing over 2.5 goals this term, we are set for a relatively low-scoring encounter on Saturday.

    On the flip side, Bodo/Glimt boast a record of seven wins, three draws and three losses in the Eliteserien this year.

    Although they have played two games more than Sarpsborg, they must still be given credit for cementing second place in the standings.

    With 27 goals to their name, Glimt are the highest scorers in the league. However, they have conceded 13 goals.

    When you look at the bigger picture, Glimt have only lost four of their previous 43 matches in the Eliteserien.

    Bodo/Glimt have been one of the strongest teams in Norway over the past couple of years, so they head into Saturday’s clash as the bookies’ favourites.

    Head-to-head: It is worth remembering that Sarpsborg have failed to beat Glimt in each of their last seven league meetings.

    Sarpsborg’s last victory over Glimt came all the way back in 2016. Since then, they have recorded three draws and four losses in this fixture.

    Team news: Ibrahima Kone is Sarpsborg’s danger man, having bagged two goals and one assist this season.

    As for Glimt, Erik Botheim has seven goals to his name this term, while Ulrik Saltnes has notched four goals and a whopping nine assists.

    When you couple the current gulf between these two sides with the recent head-to-head record in this fixture, all the signs point towards an away win on Saturday.

    For that reason, Forebet predicts that Bodo/Glimt will prevent Sarpsborg from scoring – picking up all three points in the process.
