There is no dominant team in the matches between these two teams over the past few years, as four of the last seven H2H games ended with draws. Bodo/Glimt won two meetings in the period, while Molde triumphed only once. Also, it is worth mentioning that the last three H2H matches ended with at least four goals.
Molde team overview
The 2025 season was terrible for Molde, as they ended tenth in Eliteserien. The team from Aker Stadion is still one of the wealthiest teams in Norway and will expect to bounce back among the best in the competition. Molde have big ambitions, but although friendly matches shouldn't mean too much, two victories in six games don't offer much reason for optimism. In the previous match, Martin Falk's team won 4-1 against Aalesund.
Molde signed a few interesting players this summer. They added Sivert Sira Hansen (who came from Start), Trent Kone-Doherty (Liverpool U21), Fredrik Kristensen Dahl (Stromsgodset), Mads Kikkenborg (Anderlecht), Andreas Tveiten (Brattvag), and Vebjorn Hoff (Lillestrom). 19-year-old Trent Kone-Doherty is the name that stands out, as the left winger played very well for Liverpool U21, and it will be interesting to follow his development.
Oskar Spiten-Nysaeter, Mats Moller Daehli, and Fredrik Kristensen Dahl are injured and will not play on Thursday against Bodo/Glimt.

Bodo/Glimt team overview
Last season, Bodo/Glimt lost their dominance in Eliteserien. They ended with one point behind Viking and will be very motivated to return to the top. In the last few weeks, Bodo/Glimt were excellent in the Champions League. After securing their place in the knockout phase, Kjetil Knutsen's team won 5-2 on aggregate against Inter Milan in the 1/16 final. Bodo/Glimt will meet with Sporting CP next week, so Thursday's clash will be a good preparation for the Champions League 1/8 final.
Bodo/Glimt didn't change their team too much during the winter. The only worth mentioning departure was Mathias Jorgensen, who went to Blackburn. On the other hand, Bodo/Glimt still didn't sign any players. However, the winter transfer window in Norway ends in a few more weeks, so things still could change.
Bodo/Glimt doesn't have any missing players right now.

Prediction
Both teams are high-scoring. Molde scored eight goals in the last three matches, while Bodo/Glimt scored ten goals in four official matches in 2026. Also, we have seen 15 goals in the previous three H2H matches between Molde and Bodo/Glimt. With both teams scoring at will lately, it would be surprising if the upcoming tie doesn't produce at least four goals.
3 Reasons why we should expect at least four goals in this match
- Molde scored eight goals in the last three friendly matches
- Bodo/Glimt scored ten goals in the previous four games
- There were 15 goals in the last three H2H matches between Molde and Bodo/Glimt
