It's still early in the Eliteserien season, but we are learning more and more about the teams. Here is the Odd - Bodø / Glimt preview!
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.
Bodø / Glimt have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1300 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
Odd form and stats
OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Odd's two home games in the Eliteserien so far this season, having collected 3 points here at Skagerak Arena.
Odd are returning here after visiting Start in a Eliteserien game and winning with a 5-0 scoreline. Torgeir Børven (2), Marcus Andre Kaasa, Vebjørn Hoff and Tobias Lauritsen scored the goal(s). Previous to that game, a home match hosting Vålerenga in a game that was won 4-1.
As indicated by the result mentioned above, Odd played a great game against Start and beat them comfortably. Expectations are high for this one.
Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Haugesund are coming to town in four days.
Odd has scored 5 goals so far and conceded 3 goals from 2 home games. These are numbers from the league only.
Bodø / Glimt form and stats
Bodø / Glimt, who have the most scored goals (15) in Eliteserien, are on a winning streak away after three games, as mentioned below. A maximum 6 points in the bag from 2 travels in the Eliteserien.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Brann in just four days.
7 goals so far away for Bodø / Glimt, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 4. All from 2 league matches away.
