Bodo/Glimt vs Sandefjord prediction, preview, team news and more | Norwegian Eliteserien 2023-24

The Norwegian Eliteserien returns as Bodo/Glimt and Sandefjord go head-to-head at the Aspmyra Stadion on Wednesday (May 29). Andreas Tegstrom’s Sandefjord have lost their last five meetings with Bodo/Glimt since October 2021.

The hosts failed to return to winning ways on Friday, as they could only salvage a 2-2 home draw with KFUM Oslo. That followed a somewhat disappointing 1-0 loss to HamKam on May 20, which snapped their four-game winning streak.

Despite their recent drop-off in form, Bodo/Glimt sit atop the Eliteserien with 23 points from 10 matches, two points above second-placed Fredrikstad.

Meanwhile, Sandefjord were left empty handed yet again, as they fell to a 2-1 loss to 10-man Haugesund last weekend. Tegstrom’s men have lost three games on the bounce, conceding seven goals and scoring twice since a 4-1 victory over Sarpsborg on May 12.

Sandefjord have picked up seven points from nine matches to sit 15th in the league table, level on points with rock-bottom Tromso.
