Week 12 brings us a match on Jul 2nd, where Odd will host Bodø / Glimt in a clash of these two closely matched Eliteserien teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy but warm day with daytime temperatures of 20 degrees, which should make for a nice day for football. In their last match, 10th placed Odd, recorded a 1-0 shutout win against Vålerenga. Tobias Lauritsen scored the first goal for Odd in the 60th minute, and that single goal was all that was necessary as neither team could manage any more scoring In the end, Vålerenga couldn’t muster any offence and Odd ran away with the shutout win. Odd is looking for direction having 4 win and 6 losses in their last 10 matches, while bodø / Glimt is fresh off their 2-0 shutout win against Aalesund. Amahl Pellegrino struck first for Bodø / Glimt in the 76th minute on a feed from Ola Solbakken, then Wembangomo added another in the 89th minute on a feed from Marius Hoibraten At the end of 90 a dissapointed Aalesund couldn’t manage to score, and Bodø / Glimt took the shutout win. With 18 points in their last 10 matches Bodø / Glimt should be reasonably happy with their performance.
These two teams have not yet played each other this season, so it will be interesting how the match turns out. Last season Odd won the head to head battle with 1 win.
Bodø / Glimt is glad to have Amahl Pellegrino in top form. In the last 5 matches the attacker has scored five goals. Odd’s most prolific scorer has been Tobias Lauritsen. He has netted 3 goals over the last five matches.
