Friday’s Football Bet of the Day sees me head to Scandinavia and there’s a side in the Norwegian Eliteserien who I like the look of to collect another three points away to their out-of-form opponents.

Sarpsborg vs Bodø/Glimt

🇳🇴 Eliteserien 

⏰ Friday 12th August, 18:00

After reaching the Champions League play-off round on Tuesday, Bodø/Glimt turn their attention to league duty and will look to close the gap on league leaders Molde, as they travel to the Sarpsborg Stadion to take on out-of-form Sarpsborg on Friday.

Sarpsborg’s miserable run of form continued last time out, as they lost 3-1 away to Strømsgodset. Stefan Billborn’s side have now lost nine of their last 12 matches in the Eliteserien, including each of their last five. Sarpsborg have only registered two clean sheets from their opening 17 league outings, with just one of those coming in their last 12. Only four sides have conceded more goals in the Norwegian top-flight than the 31 Sarpsborg have let in, with 20 of those coming in their last eight matches.

Bodø/Glimt made it five wins on the bounce and seven from their last eight in the Eliteserien last time out, as they thrashed Odd 7-0 last Saturday. Kjetil Knutsen’s side have won five of their eight road trips in the league this season (W5-D0-L3), winning 5/6 against sides currently positioned 8th in the table and below. Glimt are the top-scoring side in the Eliteserien, finding the back of the net 44 times, with 26 of those goals coming in their last eight matches. The Yellow Horde have found the back of the net on multiple occasions in 13 of their 17 league outings so far this season, including in each of their last eight.

Bet of the Day

Bodø/Glimt have been in scintillating form both domestically and in Europe in recent weeks and they’ll look to cut the gap to league leaders to Molde on Friday, as they travel to the Sarpsborg Stadion to take on a seriously out-of-form Sarpsborg side. Kjetil Knutsen’s visitors have won seven of their last eight Eliteserien fixtures, including each of their last five and should be too strong for a Sarpsborg side that’s lost nine of their last 12, as well as each of their last five.

Glimt are the top-scorers in the Norwegian top-flight, scoring 44 goals in their opening 17 league outings and given they’ve found the back of the net on multiple occasions in 13 of those matches, I’m happy to take them to score a brace for the ninth consecutive league match against a Sarpsborg defence that’s conceded 20 times in their last eight fixtures, with four of those coming in a 4-1 defeat in the reverse-fixture just five weeks ago.
