Week 8 brings us a match on May 29th where Bodø / Glimt will play host to Viking in a clash of these two evenly matched Eliteserien teams. The game day is forecasted to be a windy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 7 degrees, making for an unpleasant day. In their last match, 1st placed Bodø / Glimt, recorded a 3-2 win against Tromsø. Vegard Erlien scored the first goal for Tromsø in the 2nd minute, then Faris Pemi Moumbagna tied it up for Bodø / Glimt in the 4th minute But luckily in the 25th minute, they were able to complete the comback with a penalty goal by Amahl Pellegrino. Bodø / Glimt looks to continue their winning ways, having 7 wins in their last 10 matches, while viking sits at 2nd place in the tables. In their last match they recorded a 3-2 win against Odd. Jorgensen scored the first goal for Odd in the 10th minute, then Conrad Wallem added another in the 3rd minute of the first half’s stoppage time on a feed from Dennis Gjengaar Finally they completed the comback victory in the 87th minute on a goal by Sander Svendsen to cap off a wild match. With 17 points in their last 10 matches Viking 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 these teams were evenly matched with 1 win apiece.
Both Sander Svendsen and Zlatko Tripić have been the hottest scorers for Viking in the last 5 each having scored 3 goals each. Bodø / Glimt is fortunate enough to have Faris Pemi Moumbagna in top form. In the last 5 matches the attacker has scored five goals.
