Bodo Glimt vs Ranheim Predictions

Bodo Glimt fans will be expecting a response from their side this weekend after the mauling they received last time out but despite that loss, Saturday’s hosts are just four points behind the league leaders Molde in second place and have two games in hand. Struggling Ranheim provide the opposition this weekend and a defeat for the visitors could see them slip into the relegation zone if results elsewhere do not go in their favour.

Valerenga went in at the break 4-0 up at home to high flying Bodo Glimt and despite making a couple of changes for the second half the visitors conceded two more goals and slumped to an embarrassing 6-0 defeat. Ranheim and Rosenborg put on a five-goal thriller at the EXTRA Arena, where despite equalising late on the hosts still ended up losing the game. Rosenborg took the lead in the twenty-seventh minute but an own goal from Hedenstad just before the break saw the teams go in level. The visitors retook the lead early in the second half but Rønning looked to have rescued a point for Ranheim with his eighty-fifth-minute equaliser only for the visitors to score again and pinch all three points.

The recent head to head record and the form and performances of both clubs heading into Saturday’s match suggests that this game will end in a win to nil and we are backing Bodo Glimt to collect all three points. Three of the last six meetings between these two clubs have ended in a win to nil and Bodo Glimt are unbeaten in their last three matches against Ranheim. Bodo Glimt have won three of their last four matches, while Ranheim have only won one of their last three away games. The hosts have kept clean sheets in their last two home games and their guests have failed to score in two of their last three away games, which is why we’re backing a 3-0 win for Bodo Glimt on Saturday.

Sweden’s Layouni top scores for the home side this season with six league goals, while Karlsen leads the way for Ranheim with four Eliteserien goals. We’re confident that Bodo Glimt will win to nil this weekend and have predicted a final scoreline of 3-0. The hosts need to respond after such a heavy defeat but they are the form favourites and have a great home record this season, while their guests have struggled on the road of late.
