Both Strømsgodset and Bodø / Glimt are yearning for points in this fixture, even with the visitors holding a 24 point advantage in the league table.

Insights:
  • Strømsgodset have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
  • Bodø / Glimt have the most scored goals (82) in Eliteserien

Strømsgodset can neither be promoted or relegated from Eliteserien. Bodø / Glimt are still fighting for the big positions at the top of the table.

These teams have little in common geographically as Bodø / Glimt have to travel 1200 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
