Go Ahead Eagles vs AZ Alkmaar Prediction

Go Ahead Eagles currently hold a six-point gap in the race for European competition and need just one point from their last two games to guarantee their place in the Conference League playoff.

AZ Alkmaar, for their part, boosted their hopes of making the top three and qualifying for the UEFA Champions League. Their victory over Twente saw them cut the gap to the Enschede outfit to two points with two games left.

First-half goals from Luc Mares and Hilmir Mikaelsson ensured that the two sides canceled each other out.

Bodo/Glimt, meanwhile, saw off Stromsgodset with a narrow 1-0 home win. Hakon Evjen’s 74th-minute strike proved to be the difference between the two sides.

The victory left Den Gule Horde at the summit of the standings, having garnered 16 points from six games. Kristiansund are eighth with nine points to their name.

Kristiansund vs Bodo/Glimt Prediction

Kristiansund have made a relatively bright start on their return to the Eliteserien following their promotion from the OBOS-Ligaen last season. They have lost just one of six league games played so far (three draws).

Bodo/Glimt have a two-point advantage at the summit of the standings with a game in hand. This has sent a statement of intent to the rest of the league about their ambition to successfully defend their league crown.

Glimt have won their last five away games, scoring at least two goals on each occasion and we are backing this trend to continue with goals at both ends.

Prediction: Kristiansund 1-3 Bodo/Glimt
