Bodo/Glimt’s title defence is proceeding well. The three-time champions are set to host Haugesund this Saturday, looking to go nine points clear. Read on for the stats defining this match and our prediction at the end.

Bodo/Glimt are juggling their domestic and European assignments well, and come here unbeaten in four matches. In their last outing they saw off Rigas 3-1 to advance to the Champions League 3rd qualifying round on a 7-1 aggregate victory.

That marked their third win in four matches, but they’ll be eyeing improvement on the 1-1 draw with KFUM in their last league game. After this game, Bodo/Glimt will go on two consecutive away matches, thus they’ll want to leave a positive impression on their fans. Fortunately, they’ve been doing well at home, and are currently undefeated in seven matches at the Aspmyra Stadion.

Haugesund are struggling in the season, and this match finds them kept out of the automatic relegation places by goal difference. Their troubles weren’t helped by a 4-3 defeat away to bottom side Sandefjord.

In that match, Haugesund took the lead but that lasted just a minute, before going into the break trailing 3-1. Their second half recovery would be undone by a stoppage time concession, leaving them sitting in the relegation playoff position.

Another defeat here could see Haugesund start next week bottom of the standings. With a run of three straight losses against Bodo/Glimt, that remains a possibility for Haugesund. In their last 11 meetings with Bodo/Glimt, Haugesund have no win. They haven't won any of their last five away league matches either.
