- Competition: Norway - Eliteserien
- Date: Wednesday, 16th, July 2025
- Kickoff: 17:00 UK / 18.00 CEST
- Venue: Fredrikstad Stadion (Fredrikstad)
Bodo/Glimt will look to keep their title defense on track when they visit mid-table side Fredrikstad in Wednesday’s Eliteserien action.
Thanks to a clinical attacking performance in their latest outing where they outgunned Molde 4-2 on home soil, Fredrikstad managed to stay in the European race by climbing into the mid-table pack with only a five-point deficit separating them from the team sitting fourth.
Bodo/Glimt, having claimed the domestic crown in four of the last five campaigns, have played fewer matches than any other Eliteserien side due to their deep European adventure which saw them reach the UEFA Conference League semi-finals, so their current 13-point gap behind table-topping Viking is hardly alarming given they still hold as many as four games in hand.
Fredrikstad vs Bodo/Glimt Betting Tips : BODO/GLIMT TO WIN
Bodo/Glimt will contest the first of their four games in hand in midweek and will aim to flex their muscle in a bid to close the gap on the Eliteserien pace-setters, though the road to three points might be tricky, we believe they have enough quality to emerge victorious. Fredrikstad's recent form has been anything but good, as a spirited 4-2 triumph over Molde over the weekend remains their lone bright spark across the last eight outings in all competitions, which only deepens the doubts surrounding their ability to seriously trouble the Norwegian heavyweights. With no distractions outside the league, the side coached by Kjetil Knutsen can channel all their energy into closing the 13-point gap at the top of Eliteserien, and they’ll take confidence into Wednesday’s clash knowing they’ve come out on top in three of their last four encounters with Fredrikstad. With 76 percent of their points earned at home so far, it's clear the Aristokratene rely heavily on their home ground advantage, but it's hard to see them having what it takes to frustrate a powerful Bodo/Glimt side that is desperate to fight back for the title.
