The visiting Bodø / Glimt side should be favourites in this visit to Aalesund, as the away team holds a 15 point advantage from their six league games this season.
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.
These teams have little in common geographically as Bodø / Glimt have to travel 900 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
Aalesund form and stats
Three Eliteserien home games done for Aalesund, who are not happy collecting 1 point from these matches.
Aalesund travelled for their previous game, a trip to Vålerenga that ended 2-2. Before that game, the home loss against Mjøndalen with the scoreline 1-3.
A disappointing finish for Aalesund in their match versus Vålerenga as their 2-0 lead was destroyed and replaced with a 2-2 full time score.
Aalesund are traveling soon after this match as the Eliteserien match at Sandefjord awaits in three days.
The Aalesund fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 4 in 3 matches. Neutralizing the opposition is a challenge, Aalesund having conceded 9 goals here at Color Line Stadion so far. This has been a stadium of sighs so far as Aalesund have let the opposition score 9 times, an average of more than three per game.
Bodø / Glimt form and stats
Bodø / Glimt are yet to lose a point on their Eliteserien travels this season with 3 wins from 3 away games.
Glimt have succeeded in guarding their own goal lately, led by their goalkeeper Joshua Smits. It's been 216 minutes since they last conceded in Eliteserien.
Glimt had fun at their own home (Color Line Stadion) last time out, beating Brann 5-0. Kasper Junker (3), Ulrik Saltnes and Philip Zinckernagel scored. Prior to that result Glimt won their away game at Odd. The scoreline was 4-0.
As you can tell from the results above, Glimt was very dominant against Brann, winning the match with a scoreline that even the finest fortune teller couldn't predict. 5-0 (!) with Kasper Junker (3), Ulrik Saltnes and Philip Zinckernagel providing the goals. Kasper Junker certainly enjoyed Glimt's last game versus Brann, appearing multiple times in the match report with three goals and the 5-0 victory.
A quick return to home after this game, as Bodø / Glimt are hosting Kristiansund in the Eliteserien only three days away.
Glimt are scoring goals for fun in their league games away this season, having clocked up more than three goals per game on average (11 goals from 3 away games). As opposed to that, Glimt have seen the ball go into their own net 4 times on the road.
