Just two points currently separate Stroemsgodset and the relegation playoff place occupied by Sandefjord.

Bodoe/Glimt’s dangerman is 33-year-old Amahl Pellegrino. The left wing has been brilliant this season with 12 goals and five assists in 11 matches.
Pellegrino scored twice against HamKam in Bodoe/Glimt’s 3-0 win last time out. The winger has found a home at Bodoe and has a total of 56 goals and 24 assists in 86 matches for the club.
Marcus Mehnert leads Stroemsgodset in goals with three. Goals haven’t flowed for Stroemsgodset this season. Bodoe’s strong defence should keep the home team in check throughout the fixture.
Stroemsgodset manager Isnes should continue to use a 3-4-3 formation. Mehnert is likely to start as the right-wing once more, and Jonatan Brunes should begin as the team’s lone striker.
Last season, Bodoe/Glimt went to Stroemsgodset and won 4-2. The Lightning should post another win over their Eliteserien rivals. Like last season, it should be high scoring with over 2.5 goals. Bodoe should win 3-1.
