Bodo Glimt vs Valerenga Predictions

Goals at a premium at Glimt

Saturday’s clash between Bodo/Glimt and Valerenga at Aspmyra Stadion could be a tight encounter and under 2.5 goals is the bet. Three of Valerenga’s last four Eliteserien matches have produced under 2.5 goals and there have been under 2.5 goals in nine of their 15 outings this season.

Bodo/Glimt are fourth in the league, seven places and 11 points above Valerenga. The hosts have nine wins, two draws and three losses, while the visitors sit 11th with five wins, three draws and seven defeats from their 15 games.

Bodo/Glimt have won five of their last seven league matches, including a 4-2 victory over Viking, and have been winners in six of their last eight Eliteserien home games. Valerenga’s recent form has been inconsistent, with two wins, one draw and three defeats in their last six games. They won 3-0 against Haugesund last weekend.

Bodo/Glimt have been impressive defensively at home this season, conceding just six goals in seven league games – an average of 0.86 goals per game. They have kept their opponents at bay in five of their last seven Eliteserien home games.

Bodo/Glimt have won six of their last eight home games in the Eliteserien and have enjoyed success in the last two meetings with Valerenga by two-goal margins. A 2-0 win for the hosts looks like a decent correct-score option.
