Sandefjord's performance in the Eliteserien this season has been challenging, having won only five out of their 24 games and suffering 13 losses. They currently find themselves second from the bottom of the league table with 21 points, and their relegation is a looming possibility alongside Aalesund. However, they still have a chance to improve their position in the standings, with 18 points at stake in their remaining fixtures.

They had a difficult season last year, finishing 14th out of 16 teams in the league. They are currently experiencing a tough stretch, with three consecutive defeats, during which they conceded seven goals while scoring only five. Their previous visit to the Aspmyra Stadion resulted in a 4-1 loss, and their away record has been less than stellar, with just one win in their last five away games.

Sandefjord - Hugo Keto, Fredrik Palerud, Fredrik Berglie, Sander Moen Foss, Vetle Walle Egeli, Jeppe Kjaer, Filip Ottosson, Aleksander Nilsson, Gilbert Koomson, Franklin Nyenetue, Danilo Al-Saed.

Bodo/Glimt are highly motivated to secure all three points in their quest to maintain their lead in the league standings. They hold a distinct advantage with their superior form, the support of their home crowd, and a strong momentum. These factors make Bodo/Glimt the favorites to clinch a convincing victory at home.

Nonetheless, Sandefjord might still find themselves on the scoreboard, thanks to the presence of key attacking players. Danilo Al-Saed, who has been in outstanding form, boasts an impressive nine goals, while Filip Ottosson has contributed six assists. These two players serve as the primary offensive threats for the visitors, and their performance could make a difference in the outcome of the match.

While Bodo/Glimt is the favored side, the presence of skilled attackers for Sandefjord means that an exciting and competitive match could be in store, with the potential for goals from both teams.
