Bodø / Glimt - Sarpsborg 08 predictions

It’s quite easy to predict that Bodø / Glimt will take the 3 points here. Though a different result is not entirely impossible, it would still be quite a notable upset.

This one has Home Win written all over it. The hosts are expected to grab a firm hold of the proceedings and Sarpsborg 08 will be left with slim pickings in this match.

Bodø / Glimt’s defeat in the previous round was to be expected, frankly. They played as visitors against a considerably stronger team - Brann . They were already trailing behind during half-time, and things only went down from there on, resulting in a compelling 4:2 defeat.

Although Sarpsborg 08 had the advantage of playing at home in the previous round, the game could have gone either way if top online bookmakers are to be believed. Rather than a close showdown, however, the game ended up being a complete rout for them. They fell behind early and eventually lost 1:3.

A quick look at the recent trends reveals a solid record for Bodø / Glimt, who have managed to score 5 times in their previous 3 matches. This means that markets like BTTS or Over 5 Goals are worth your attention.

Sarpsborg 08’s recent track record shows a very concerning amount of concessions – 7 of them in their previous 3 matches, to be exact. While it’s obvious their defence has a lot of problems, Over markets might be a good option for this match.

If the previous season is anything to go by, Bodø / Glimt are the clearly dominant side of this matchup. They have multiple decisive victories on record from the previous season alone, which, which easily justifies the 1.48 betting odds for a home win.

Sunday's matchup will feature both teams at full strength, allowing for a fair and competitive game.

An Over 3.5 Goals is the best option for this fixture, though it’s not perfect by any means. That said, the notable risk of failure is worth it due to the considerable betting value that can be found in the 1 odds.
