- Competition: Eliteserien

- Kick-off: 18:00 UK / 19:00 CEST
- Venue: Aspmyra Stadion
This one has the feel of a proper contest, even if the table gap is small. Bodø/Glimt sit third, Molde fifth, just three points between them. That alone keeps things tight. The hosts come in with stronger momentum, which explains the odds, but Molde’s recent 5-1 win is not something you just brush aside either.

Eliteserien
Since 2023, these sides have met 11 times. The Yellow Horde have five wins, including the last two. Molde have only two victories, while four games ended level. Goals tend to flow quite freely here, with an average of 4.09 per match, which is unusually high.
Bodo/Glimt team overview
The Yellow Horde have had a slightly uneven spell, which is not something you always associate with them. After that tough Champions League exit to Sporting, there was a bit of a wobble.
Heavy defeat to Viking, a draw with Sarpsborg, and suddenly things looked less certain. You could sense a drop in sharpness.
However, Knutsen’s side have responded well. Four straight wins now, and three clean sheets in that run, which suggests control has returned. The 5-0 win over Start last time out felt like a statement.
At Aspmyra, they remain very strong. Eight consecutive home wins, and often scoring multiple goals in front of their own crowd. There are a couple of absences to consider.
Ulrik Saltnes is out with a groin issue, and Ola Brynhildsen is also sidelined. Even so, the overall structure looks intact, and attacking depth still feels sufficient.

Molde team overview
The Town of Roses arrive with a big result behind them, that 5-1 win over Vålerenga. It looked sharp, direct, and full of confidence. But then again, consistency has not really been their strength lately.
Two wins in the last five is decent, though for a side with Molde’s expectations, it feels slightly underwhelming.
Away form is the bigger concern boss Martin Falk. One win in the last 12 away matches is not a small issue, especially heading into a ground like Aspmyra. You can imagine the pressure building if things do not start well.
Fredrik Gulbrandsen’s brace last time out, his first goals of the season, could be a turning point, or maybe just a one-off, it is hard to say.
He should lead the line alongside Hestad and Granaas. Injuries do not help either. Fredrik Kristensen Dahl is out with a knee problem, while Mads Kikkenborg is sidelined with an Achilles injury.

Prediction
Bodø/Glimt look slightly more reliable here, especially at Aspmyra. Knutsen’s side have won eight straight home games and often score in bursts, which tends to overwhelm teams. Molde’s away form, just one win in 12, is hard to ignore. Even with their recent big win, a 3-1 result for the Yellow Horde feels like the logical call.
Three reasons we expect over 3.5 goals
- Bodo/Glimt scored at least three times in seven of their last eight home games.
- Molde scored ten goals in their last three matches.
- Three of the last four league meetings between Bodo/Glimt and Molde at this ground produced over 2.5 goals.
