Bodoe/Glimt have dominated their last six head-to-head meetings with Eliteserien rival Stroemsgodset. Glimt posted a record of 5W-1D-0L in the teams’ last six matches.
Stroemsgodset head into the Wednesday night match at Bodoe/Glimt in fourth place. They are unbeaten in four straight games and are in excellent form. Stroemsgodset’s last two matches in the Eliteserien both finishes as wins.

Bodoe/Glimt are coming off of the great Europa Conference League run they had earlier this year. The team has been good in the Eliteserien posting a record of 3W-3D-1L.
However, there could be a hangover following Bodoe/Glimt’s incredible run to the Conference League’s semifinals.
The Lightning are fifth in the division and have a game in hand over their rivals. Bodoe/Glimt are eight points behind first-place Lillestroem. If the Lightning fail to win the title this season, it will be due to the number of draws they have already experienced.
Bodoe/Glimt took 11 points from the last 18 points on offer this season. Their last three games all ended without defeat.
The Lightning outscored their last six opponents 13-7. They have suffered three draws in four home matches already this campaign. Bodoe/Glimt are unbeaten at home.
Stroemsgodset picked up 13 points from the last 15 points on offer in the division. They too conceded seven goals in the last six matches.
However, Stroemsgodset scored 10 times. Stroemsgodset are unbeaten in three straight away games. They have taken seven points from 12 away from home.
Amahl Pellegrino and Runar Espejord are tied for the lead in goals for Bodoe/Glimt. The duo has bagged three goals each. Ulrik Saltnes has been the main creator of goals for the Lightning with three assists.
Stroemsgodset’s Johan Hove leads the team in scoring with four goals. Hove has been excellent this season and has accounted for 36% of the team’s scoring this term.
Although Stroemsgodset are in good form, Bodoe/Glimt are undefeated in 24 of their last 25 Eliteserien matches. The Lightning are playing well but drawing too many matches already.
Bodoe/Glimt’s penchant to draw matches should lead to Wednesday’s match ending in a stalemate. The result will be beneficial to Stroemsgodset while it will damage Bodoe/Glimt’s chances of winning the title.
The Eliteserien rivals should finish 1-1 in a competitive fixture. Two of Bodeo/Glimt’s last three Eliteserien games finished 1-1. The draw will be Bodoe/Glimt’s fourth draw in eight matches in the league this season.
