Bodo/Glimt sit fifth but their home record this season has been remarkably one-sided — three clean sheets from three home games, averaging three goals scored and none conceded, with every home match clearing 2.5 goals. That combination of attacking output and defensive solidity at Aspmyra is a serious concern for any visitor, and Start arrive in poor shape. The away side have lost or drawn all five of their last road trips, conceding an average of two goals per game without keeping a single clean sheet.

With no head-to-head history to lean on, the form book has to do the heavy lifting here, and it points firmly in one direction. Start's away record suggests they consistently ship goals on the road, while Bodo/Glimt have been near-impenetrable at home. The data suggests this contest is far more comfortable for the hosts than a fifth-versus-fifteenth clash might imply — goals look likely, and a Bodo/Glimt clean sheet is far from out of the question.
