Viking FK vs Bodo Glimt Predictions

Viking will be expecting a tough afternoon at home to a Bodo Glimt side that sit three places above them in the Eliteserien table, and while there are only three points separating the two clubs heading into Sunday’s match the hosts would need to win by more than three clear goals to leapfrog their guests.

Viking made the trip to Lillestrom last weekend where an early red card for the hosts allowe4d the visitors to control the majority of the ninety minutes. Thorstvedt scored just before the interval to put Viking in front and a goal from Vevatne twelve minutes from time saw the visitors secure a 2-0 victory. Bodo Glimt also won 2-0 in their last league game at home to Stromsgodset but both of their goals arrived in the second forty-five. Like Viking, Bodo Glimt controlled the match for the most part and took the lead in teh sixty-fourth minute through Evjen and four minutes later Glesnes put through his own goal to make the final score 2-0.

The recent encounters between these two sides and each teams performances over the last month or so, point towards over 2.5 goals being scored in Sunday’s game and a draw being the end result. Over 2.5 goals have been scored in four of the last six encounters between these two clubs, and over 2.5 goals have also been scored in four of Viking’s last five and five of Bodo Glimt’s last six matches. Viking have only lost one of their last six matches and Bodo Glimt have only lost two of their last six, which is why we’re backing Sunday’s game to end in a 2-2 draw.

Thorstvedt has scored five goals in the league for Viking this season, while Layouni, who also has five goals in the Eliteserien, top scores for Bodo Glimt. We’re confident that over 2.5 goals will be scored in Sunday’s match and have predicted a final scoreline of 2-2. Both teams have proven hard to beat this last month but each has been involved in a large number of games that have produced at least three goals which is why we believe a 2-2 draw could be on the cards.
