Action resumes in Norwegian Eliteserien as Sarpsborg and Bodo/Glimt square off at the Sarpsborg Stadion on Friday (June 28). Kjetil Knutsen’s men head into the weekend unbeaten in 15 games against Sarpsborg, winning the last six.
Sarpsborg failed to find their feet on Friday, as they suffered a 2-1 defeat to Tromso in a friendly. This was in keeping with their struggles in the league, where they have lost four of their last five games, with a surprise 4-2 victory over Molde on May 20 being the exception.
Sarpsborg have 10 points from 11 games to sit 15th in the league table, one point above rock-bottom Sandefjord.
Bodo/Glimt, meanwhile, secured a 2-1 friendly victory over Stromsgodset last weekend, courtesy of first-half goals from Hakon Hevjan and Jens Petter Hauge. That followed a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Haugesund on June 2, which saw their three-game winless run in the Eliteserien come to an end.
Trending
With 27 points from eight games, Bodo/Glimt sits atop the league table, only above second-placed Bran on goal difference.
