Kristiansund BK vs FK Bodo/Glimt

The pause in the league came at the right moment for Kristiansund because so far their season start have been a mess, 1 draw and 6 losses in their first 7 games has put them in last place and they need to start to win some points but the opponent they will face today is maybe not the best opponent to face right now, the Champions of Bodo/Glimt and also the team who has beat them the last 7 games that they played each other and that includes the 3 games at home so things will not be easier today. For this game Kristiansund is likely without Hopmark and Ulvestad. Coly is doubtful too.

If the pause was good for Kristiansund it was also good for Bodo/Glimt since they have been playing a lot of games since the season started because they were still in the European Conference competition and that has cost them some points because the team looked tired most of the season start, now they had some rest and can put 100% focus on the league, they won the last 2 titles in the Eliteserien but right now they have a lot of work in front of them, they are current 11 points behind leader Lillestrom and 9 points behind their main rival Molde, even Bodo/Glimt played less one game but they can't give more points here, they need to start to recover some points, especially against Molde because Lillestrom is likely to lose a lot points during the whole season. For this game Solbakken is listed has doubtful.

I think the pause was a good pause for the Champions to re-group and start to play at their level in this season and nothing better to face a team they have beat the last 7 times and that includes 3 wins in this stadium. Bodo/Glimt is still an amazing team with a lot of power in their attack and I see them scoring here multiple times and it's hard to see Kristiansund to be able to match that in my opinion, so take Bodo/Glimt to win here, likely by 2:1 or 3:1.

Good Luck
