The season is still fairly new and the Eliteserien table has to be read with caution. So far Bodø / Glimt find themselves in 1st position and Brann are placed 3rd.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
It should be mentioned that Brann play their home matches on grass, so they have to adjust for this one as it's played on artifical turf. Does it matter? Recent statistics for Brann on artifical turf are 12 victories, 5 draws and 9 defeats from 26 games. In these matches they have a goal statistics scored/conceded: 39-37. You can compare this with overall results below.
It's quite the trip for Brann when visiting Glimt as the cities are 1300 kilometers apart.
Bodø / Glimt form and stats
Perfect Eliteserien season at home so far for Bodø / Glimt, who have the most scored goals (19) in Eliteserien, 2 wins from 2 appearances.
A strong away win for Glimt against Odd the last match, as Kasper Junker, Sammy Skytte, Marius Hoibraten and Philip Zinckernagel were on target. Before that, Bodø / Glimt had a home game versus Sarpsborg 08 which ended with a victory 2-1.

Brann form and stats
The seven points Brann have gathered from their first three away trips in the Eliteserien is impressive and could lead to great things if the form continues.
It's the second away game in a row for Brann, but there's smiles all around after the 1-0 victory versus Sarpsborg 08 (placed 16th) in the Eliteserien last time out. A 1-2 loss hosting Rosenborg before that.
Goalkeeper Ali Ahamada was absolutely vital in the Brann victory against Sarpsborg 08, making six saves.
