Kristiansund vs Bodo/Glimt Prediction

Kristiansund have made a relatively bright start on their return to the Eliteserien following their promotion from the OBOS-Ligaen last season. They have lost just one of six league games played so far (three draws).

Bodo/Glimt have a two-point advantage at the summit of the standings with a game in hand. This has sent a statement of intent to the rest of the league about their ambition to successfully defend their league crown.

Glimt have won their last five away games, scoring at least two goals on each occasion and we are backing this trend to continue with goals at both ends.

Prediction: Kristiansund 1-3 Bodo/Glimt
