Bodo/Glimt vs Brann prediction: Bodo/Glimt for the win
Key stats
- Bodo/Glimt have scored 14 goals in their last four matches.
- Brann have claimed nine of possible 12 points away from home (W3, L1).
- Bodo/Glimt and Brann haven’t drawn any of their last three H2Hs.
Correct score prediction: Bodo/Glimt 3-2 SK Brann
Bodo/Glimt were left hanging in the dust as table toppers Viking beat them 4-2 in their previous home game, but a return of back-to-back 4-0 victories have lifted spirits in the dugout. The hosts have established themselves as heavyweights in recent years, and it might not be long before we see them ascend the Eliteserien table.
However, it’s not going to be a walk in the park for the Norwegian heavyweights, with Brann also netting four in the last two triumphs. The visitors have lost just once in their last five league matches, but a resurgent Glimt side could inflict yet another loss on the Bergen natives.
Pre-game odds and win probability: Hosts favoured by the bookies
- HOME: 4/9 (1.44) – 69.4%
- DRAW: 7/2 (4.50) – 22.2%
- AWAY: 19/5 (4.80) – 20.8%
The reigning Eliteserien champions have gone winless in three of their eight matches so far this league campaign, but having played fewer matches than their table-topping counterparts, they are favourites to catch up. A victory is essential here, and bookies back the hosts with 4/9 (1.44) odds – indicating a 69.4% chance of success.
Brann have fallen just once away from home this league campaign, but it seems likely that the visitors could taste their second of season at the Aspmyra Stadion. With odds of 19/5 (4.80) hanging over their heads, Brann are expected to be usurped by the hosts.

Player to Watch: Kasper Hogh
