Bodo/Glimt
Eliteserien
Bodo/Glimt are a much better team than Tromso in the previous years. The team from Bodo won eight of the last 13 H2H matches. In the same span, Tromso won only three times, while twice it was a draw.
Bodo/Glimt team overview
Bodo/Glimt won four of the last five Eliteserien titles. Kjetil Knutsen's team had some bad parts of the 2025 season, but with the recent good run, they returned to only one point fewer than the league leader, Viking, who played one game more, so Bodo/Glimt will have a chance to retake the top position with a victory in the upcoming round. Knutsen's team is in a phenomenal run with six wins in a row. In the previous game, they won 3-1 on the road against HamKam. Knutsen's team once again showed why they are the best team in the country. Bodo/Glimt had control of almost the whole game and recorded another victory.
In the game against HamKam, one of the most important Bodo/Glimt players, Ulrik Saltnes, had to come out in the second half due to injury. He will join already sidelined Brede Moe if he can't play against Tromso, while Jostein Gundersen and Ole Blomberg are questionable, and their status will be clearer closer to the kickoff.

Tromso team overview
Tromso have a surprisingly good 2025 season. They are currently seven points behind the top of the table, but with two games fewer played, so Jorgen Vik's team can still return to the title race. The problem with Tromso's championship chances is that they have slowed down with only one point in the previous two matches. In the previous league round, Vik's team played 0-0 at home against Fredrikstad. The home side ended the game with xG of 1.22, while the guests had only 0.68, but Tromso's inefficiency this time cost them victory.
Tromso have almost a full squad for the upcoming game in Bodo as Mads Mikkelsen should be the only missing player. The good news for Tromso is that Abubacarr Sedi Kinteh and Isak Vadebu served their suspensions and could return to the starting lineup.

Prediction
Bodo/Glimt seems unstoppable right now. Tromso won against the current Norwegian champions in May, but at this moment, the difference between the two teams looks too big. Bodo/Glimt won the last six matches in a row, while Tromso won only one point in the previous two games. Also, it is essential to mention that Bodo/Glimt won four of the last six matches with at least a two-goal margin. We should expect a comfortable victory for the home side on Saturday night in Bodo.
4 Reasons why Bodo/Glimt should win and cover AH -1.5 spread
- Bodo/Glimt won the last six matches in a row
- Bodo/Glimt scored 18 goals in the previous six games
- Tromso are without a victory in the last two matches
- Tromso scored only one goal in the previous two games
