Bodo/Glimt vs Haugesund Prediction and Betting Tips | July 16th 2023

The Norwegian Eliteserien returns with a fresh set of fixtures as Bodo/Glimt and Haugesund go head-to-head at the Aspmyra Stadion on Sunday.

Jostein Grindhaug’s side head into the weekend on a run of three consecutive away defeats in all competitions and will be looking to end this dry spell.

Bodo/Glimt maintained their fine run of results on Thursday when they picked up a 2-0 victory over HamKam to reach the semi-finals of the NM Cup.

Kjetil Knudsen’s men now turn their attention to the Eliteserien, where they secured a 2-0 victory over Odd on July 9 to end their two-match winless run.

With 35 points from 14 matches, Bodo/Glimt currently sit at the top of the league table with an eight-point lead over second-placed Tromso.

Haugesund, on the other hand, continued to struggle for results on the road as they fell to a 2-0 loss against Vikings at the SR-Bank Arena.

The Maaker have now lost their last three away games, scoring one goal and conceding five since a 2-1 win at Stromsgodset on June 4.

Haugesund are currently 11th in the Eliteserien standings, having picked up 15 points from their 13 matches so far.
