Bodø / Glimt travel to Sandefjord with space in suitcase for three points

There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a Eliteserien game only three days ago.

Sandefjord's stadium, Komplett Arena, has a grass surface. Bodø / Glimt have artifical turf on their own stadium. This might or might not make a difference, and to help evaluate that we give you the recent performance numbers for Bodø / Glimt when playing on grass; 5 wins, 6 draws and 4 losses from 15 matches. They have scored 25 goals in these games and conceded 21.

These teams have little in common geographically as Bodø / Glimt have to travel 1300 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

The goalie Jacob Storevik was named most valuable player of the team in that game, scoring 7.3 out of ten. Storevik saved a penalty and stopped the opponent with five saves. As you see from the result above, Sandefjord suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one.
