The managers E. Horneland and K. Knutsen are both dreading and looking forward to this decisive game in the upper regions of the Eliteserien league table.
There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a Europa League match only three days ago. Thankfully the previous game, versus Sporting CP, was also a home game here at Lerkendal. The away team is better rested.
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Bodø / Glimt have a different surface at their stadium (artificial turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 1-6-4 (win-draw-loss) from eleven matches.
Bodø / Glimt are still fighting for top positions and their benefits.
Rosenborg form and stats
The home supporters can't complain about results here at Lerkendal as Rosenborg have scored 28 goals to get 30 points from 13 games. The overall stats in the Eliteserien are 9-3-1 (wins-draws-losses).
Rosenborg's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 0-2 versus Sporting CP. Preceding that game was the away draw at Strømsgodset that finished 3-3.
The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Rosenborg's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played five games, won 3 matches, drawn 1 and lost 1.
Rosenborg can score goals in their home matches. After 13 league matches they have found the net 28 times. From these home matches, Rosenborg have conceded only 12 goals.
Bodø / Glimt form and stats
5 wins, 5 draws and 3 losses. That’s the product of Bodø / Glimt playing as the away team in the Eliteserien this season. Bodø / Glimt has showed their ability to avoid defeat with four draws in a row, but are also dodging victories. They last avoided the draw 42 days ago, in the Tromsø fixture. It's three draws from Bodø / Glimt's last three away games, a decent catch but one that could be so much better.
Bodø / Glimt delivered a 2-2 draw playing at home against Haugesund (placed 8th) in their previous match; a Eliteserien game. Before that, Bodø / Glimt travelled to Brann and returned home with a draw after the game finished 1-1.
It looked so good for Bodø / Glimt vs Haugesund, but the job was not completed and two points were lost as a 2-0 lead was turned into a 2-2 draw.
As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Bodø / Glimt playing away, we found four games. Results were 1 away win, 1 draw and 2 home wins.
Bodø / Glimt are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 21 times in 13 away games so far. Bodø / Glimt have conceded 25 goals in these games.
Head 2 Head
The dueling parties have met before this season: Bodø / Glimt - Rosenborg 2-0. Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: 4 wins for Rosenborg, 4 draws and 2 wins for Bodø / Glimt. Over 2,5 goals: 3 times; under 2,5 goals: 7 games.Top Goalscorers
