Rosenborg vs Bodo/Glimt Betting Tips: BTTS

Despite their illustrious history with a record 26 league titles, Rosenborg has been unable to establish their former dominance for quite some time now, with last season's ninth-place finish marking their worst league performance since seventh in the 2004-05 campaign.

Frustrated by the disappointing end to last season in the bottom half, just 10 points above relegation, the club's management swiftly responded by appointing Alfred Johansson as the new coach, and the arrival of the Swede on the sidelines injects hope for better days ahead.

Truly, the 33-year-old tactician can take pride in the promising start his side has made, having steered them to nine out of a possible 12 points in the opening four Eliteserien rounds, while also securing a spot in the last-16 of the NMC Cup by dispatching third-tier side Ull/Kisa 3-1 midweek.

While they haven't faced daunting tasks in the early rounds of the new season, boss Johansson and his team are gearing up for their first stern test, challenging their mettle against none other than the reigning champions, but Troillongan have shown they have what it takes to handle mighty Bodo/Glimt, remaining undefeated in 10 out of the last 11 H2H encounters at home (with W6 & D4).

The Yellow Horde, meanwhile, have been dominating Norwegian football in recent years, with the past season seeing them reclaiming the throne after finishing second in 2022, marking their third championship title in the last four seasons in Eliteserien.

All signs point to Bodo/Glimt continuing their dominance in the top-flight this season, as they have already made a strong bid for the title by securing an impressive 10 points from the opening four matches, with three victories and a solitary draw propelling them to the summit of the table.

The only slip-up so far occurred last timeout when they shared the spoils in a 1-1 draw against title contenders Molde, but it didn't take them long to get back to winning ways, as they comfortably dispatched third-tier side Junkeren in the NMC Cup midweek with a convincing 2-0 victory.

It's true, Bodo/Glimt may carry the favorite tag into this one, but securing easy points won't be possible at Lerkendal, a stadium where they have often struggled, so we'll steer clear of predicting the final outcome as anything can happen. Therefore, our focus will be directed towards the goal market, as we believe both teams possess excellent attacking talent to rattle the net against each other, just as it has been the case in four consecutive H2H meetings.
