Bodo/Glimt vs Sarpsborg prediction: Glimt to get the three points
Key stats
- Bodo/Glimt have scored 14 goals in their last four matches.
- Superlaget have conceded the least number of goals this campaign.
- Sarpsborg are unbeaten in three successive games across all competitions.
- The visitors haven’t lost an away game since February 2025.
Correct score prediction: Bodo/Glimt 3-1 Sarpsborg
Bodo/Glimt left SK Bann hanging in the dust as the Bodo natives cruised to a 3-0 victory, their second consecutive victory in the league. Aspmyra Stadion has been a fortress, but recent losses to Tottenham Hotspur and Viking mean upsetting Glimt remains a realistic target to achieve for Sarpsborg.
However, Christian Michelsen’s Sarpsborg remain winless in four league games since beating HamKam 4-0 in mid-May. It’s hard to imagine Sarpsborg inspiring themselves to a first win over Bodo/Glimt since May 2016 – expect the hosts to pull through with a comfortable victory.
Pre-game odds and win probability: Bodo/Glimt the obvious favourites
- HOME: 2/9 (1.22) – 81.9%
- DRAW: 5/1 (6.00) – 16.6%
- AWAY: 15/2 (8.50) – 11.7%
*odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
The reigning Eliteserien champions have gone winless in three of their nine 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 2/9 (1.22) odds – indicating a 81.9% chance of success.
Sarpsborg remain unbeaten away from home this campaign in five games, but it seems likely that the visitors could taste their maiden away defeat of season at the Aspmyra Stadion. With odds of 15/2 (8.50) hanging over their heads, Sarpsborg are expected to be overthrown by the hosts.

Player to watch: Kasper Hogh
Having netted a goal in five of his last six appearances for Glimt, including an assist, Hogh is arguably the hosts’ biggest threat against the visitors. The 24-year-old has eight goals and two assists in nine appearances for the reigning Norwegian champions.
