Bodo/Glimt vs Molde
Norwegian Eliteserien
Date: 2 July 2023, Sunday
Kick-off at 18:15 UK / 19:15 CET
Venue: Aspmyra Stadion (Bodo).
The top two teams from the previous Eliteserien term will close Matchday No 12 with a mouth-watering derby at Aspmyra Stadion.
Bodo/Glimt shockingly suffered their first loss of the season last weekend away at Stromsgodset. They managed to bounce back with a 3-2 victory over Tromso in the fourth round of NM Cupen on Wednesday afternoon.
Bjortuft and Saltnes scored two late stoppage-time goals on the occasion to keep Bodo/Glimt in the competition.
Kjetil Knutsen’s men are still firmly holding the top of the league table with eight points between them and second-placed Tromso at the moment.
Bodo/Glimt have been impeccable on the home patch with five wins and a draw in six league outings at Aspmyra Stadion. They have scored 19 and conceded only 5 goals in the process.
Molde, on the other side, got off to a much slower start to the new season. Nevertheless, they have managed seven wins in the last eight outings in all competitions and they will travel to Bodo high on confidence after a strong performance in mid-week’s 3-0 thumping of Stromsgodset on NM Cupen.
Head coach Erling Moe can be particularly satisfied with the improvements in his team’s defensive displays of late because Bodo/Glimt shipped just one goal in the last four outings in all competitions.
This is the clash between the two of the most talented teams in the country. We’ve seen proper goal fests in their latest head to head affairs and goals galore is certainly a scenario we are expecting to witness on Sunday in the last game of the round.
The main pick is Over 2.5 goals FT & Both Teams To Score at the 1.66 odds while we also like Bodo/Glimt to win at the 1.72 odds knowing about their superb record on the home patch in this term of the competition.
