DWWWW

Bodo/Glimt's recent performance has been quite remarkable. They secured their first win in Group D of the Conference League last Thursday with a convincing 3-1 victory over Turkish powerhouse Besiktas on home turf. This win aligns with their impressive form in the Eliteserien, where they are currently on a four-match winning streak and have remained unbeaten in their last seven outings, amassing five wins and two draws since suffering a 3-0 loss to Viking in August.

With 58 points from 25 matches, Bodo/Glimt is positioned at the top of the league table, holding a six-point lead over the second-placed team, Viking. Their consistent performance in both domestic and European competitions is a testament to their strength and ambitions this season.

Lillestrøm may have hoped for a slightly better position in the league, currently sitting in 6th place. Nevertheless, they can look back at the season with satisfaction as it has been a positive one thus far. The club has gathered 39 points, and while it might be challenging to improve their position significantly by the end of the season, they are unlikely to lose many places in the table.

In the previous round, Lillestrøm secured a straightforward and routine 2-0 victory against Valerenga at home, which added to their positive season.

Currently, Lillestrøm do not have any injured players. The only uncertainty is regarding defender Lars Ranger, and his availability for the match will be determined shortly before kickoff. This should provide some stability and depth to their lineup.

Bodo/Glimt - Nikita Khaikin, Brice Wembangomo, Brede Moe, Odin Björtuft, Fredrik Andre Bjørkan, Ulrik Saltnes, Patrick Berg, Albert Gronbaek, Nino Zugelj, Faris Moumbagna, Amahl Pellegrino.

Lillestrom - Mads Hedenstad Christiansen, Martin Ove Roseth, Ruben Gabrielsen, Espen Garnas, Eskil Edh, Ylldren Ibrahimaj, Vebjørn Hoff, Gjermund Asen, Kristoffer Tonnessen, Thomas Lehne Olsen, Henrik Skogvold.

The home team, Bodo/Glimt, is indeed a strong favorite to win this match. However, it's also worth considering a bet on a high number of goals. Bodo/Glimt have been involved in high-scoring matches at home, with a total of 99 goals scored in their 25 home games, averaging 4 goals per match. Lillestrøm have a relatively high average of 3.3 goals per match as well.
