I am predicting a 1-3 victory for the away side, Bodø/Glimt. While Odds BK’s solid home form makes them a dangerous opponent, the sheer attacking quality and intense motivation of a Bodø/Glimt side deep in a title race should be the deciding factor. The visitors’ high-pressing, relentless attacking style often overwhelms even the most organised defences. The head-to-head history strongly suggests a high-scoring game where both teams find the net, but Glimt’s superior firepower will see them secure a vital three points.
