Viking have been surprisingly great this season. They are the league leader with six points more than the next team on the table, Brann. However, Viking played more games than all the teams behind them, so the title race could be very close, especially because Viking's form seems to have slowed in the previous weeks. The team from Stavanger has lost the last two matches. In the previous game, Viking lost 3-1 on the road against Brann. The home team limited Morten Jensen's team to only 0.34 xG, so Viking couldn't expect much from the match.
Bodo/Glimt should be the best team in Norway. They had some bad periods throughout 2025, but Kjetil Knutsen's team returned to the right track, so Bodo/Glimt are now ten points behind Viking, but with three games fewer played. Knutsen's team are undefeated in the last three matches in a row. In the previous game, Bodo/Glimt won 1-0 on the road against Fredrikstad. The guests ended the match with 74% ball possession and 25 shots on goal, so Bodo/Glimt could easily score a few more goals.
Viking vs Bodo/Glimt pick: Under 3.5 goals
Viking allowed five goals in the last seven matches. On the other hand, Bodo/Glimt conceded three goals in the previous six games. We shouldn't expect more than three goals in this match.

Viking team news
After a tough defeat against Brann, Viking's head coach Morten Jensen was disappointed. He said, "We are very dissatisfied with some of the return runs, and were too weak in filling the box. There were also attacks that were too short and did not have a good enough offensive structure and interplay in Bergen."
Viking have problems with missing players. They will be without Edvin Austbo, Sondre Bjorshol, Nicholas D'Agostino, Erik de Lanlay, Martin Roseth, and Gianni Stensness on Saturday against Bodo/Glimt.
