Bodø / Glimt - Kristiansund predictions

A quick look at the odds reveals just how imbalanced this matchup is. Bodø / Glimt are almost certain to walk away with 3 more points towards the Eliteserien table, and Kristiansund fans should probably temper their expectations.

From the current standpoint, the situation is obvious. Given the strength of Bodø / Glimt and the 13.00 odds given to Kristiansund to win, it is easy to see that a win for the visiting team would be a stunning surprise.

The home team are coming off of a very poor showing at Brann in last week’s away game. Although the pre-match betting odds were somewhat favourable with prices around 2.78, Bodø / Glimt were behind throughout the match and suffered a devastating 4:1 defeat.

Kristiansund haven’t exactly been playing top of their game lately. Last round’s home draw 0:0 against Odd was far from a disaster, but most of us – including the world’s best online bookmakers – expected a lot more considering they played at home.

The previous 3 times we saw Bodø / Glimt play at home were marked by more than 5 goals from them. The visitors will need to be careful if they want to avoid conceding a lot of goals.

Kristiansund’s home stadium have seen a lot of conceded goals recently – 6 in the last 3 games, to be exact. Considering they don’t have home-field advantage this time, most online sportsbooks are giving rather short odds on Over markets.

The recent history of this matchup reveals a good part of why the hosts are considered the favourites. A quick look at the stats shows a decisive victory over Kristiansund. The most recent clash between the two squads is from last season, though.

Both teams will be able to field their strongest lineups this Sunday, with no injuries or suspensions to worry about.

Despite the risks involved, the strongest prediction in terms of value is an HT/FT bet that the hosts will take lead in the second half. It’s as risky as you might expect, though the 9.44 odds offer a decent return.
