Haugesund vs Bodo Glimt Predictions

Haugesund to fall short again

Bodo/Glimt have dominated recent encounters with Haugesund, and you can back them to secure another win when they visit Haugesund Stadion on Sunday. They have enjoyed four successive Eliteserien victories over the hosts.

Haugesund were beaten 4-2 by Bodo/Glimt in their last Eliteserien meeting in August, having scored the opening goal in three of the last four encounters with these opponents.

They lost 2-0 to SK Brann last weekend, and could not break their losing run. They have now lost eight of the eight games this season in which they’ve shipped the first goal, conceding the opening goal for the fifth game running.

Bodo/Glimt are ten places above Haugesund in the table, with the hosts propping it up having not won any of their nine games so far. Bodo/Glimt are sixth with four wins, one draw and two losses.

Bodo/Glimt will be licking their lips at the prospect of facing Haugesund’s leaky defence. The hosts have shipped 11 goals in four home games in the Eliteserien this season – an average of 2.75 goals per game – and have conceded in six of their last eight on home soil.

The hosts have been disappointing in front of goal at home this season, scoring just once in four games – an average of 0.25 goals per game. Haugesund have failed to net in three of their last four Eliteserien home games.

A 2-1 win for Bodo/Glimt looks like a decent correct-score bet. Both teams have found the net in six of the last seven Eliteserien games between these sides, and Haugesund have scored in three of their last four matches.
