Bodo Glimt meet Molde at Aspmyra Stadion in one of Norway’s most prominent football rivalries. This regular season Eliteserien clash holds weight not just because of tradition, but due to both teams’ current positions in the league table. Bodo Glimt, managed by Kjetil Knutsen, enter as clear favorites by bookmaker consensus and statistics alike, while Molde under Martin Falk seek to disrupt Glimt’s near-dominance at home. The tactical battle between Glimt’s precise passing and Molde’s counter-attacking is expected to shape much of the night.
Among the names to watch, Bodo’s Kasper Høgh has been lethal up front, netting 3 in his last 4, while Molde’s Emil Breivik has shown goal threat from midfield, bagging 4 in his previous 4 appearances. These two could heavily influence the match outcome if their recent forms continue. The “hot stat” is Bodo Glimt’s 83% win rate this year, a figure that dwarfs most in the division and frames their current supremacy.

Bodo Glimt vs Molde prediction
We predict Bodo Glimt to win. Recent form, home advantage, and all-around squad balance tip the scales strongly in Glimt’s favor. Their 5-0 demolition of Kristiansand followed by a 2-0 win over Lillestrom showcases the depth and consistency lacking in Molde’s recent outings. With a pass accuracy of 89% over their last five, and only three yellow cards accumulated, Glimt control matches and avoid unnecessary risk. Molde, on the other hand, collect more fouls (54 in last 5) and yellow cards (7), suggesting more reactive, sometimes reckless, play. This style could leave them exposed to Glimt’s quick transitions and wide play, especially with Høgh and Helmersen both sharp in attack. Expect Molde to fight but the odds and data point to Glimt’s measured dominance.

Team Analysis
Bodo Glimt come in after dismantling Kristiansand 5-0. The attacking movement was relentless, with Høgh, Helmersen, and Sjovold all making the scoresheet in recent matches. Their defense rarely let Kristiansand into dangerous zones and the midfield, orchestrated by Patrick Berg, dictated the rhythm. Previously, Glimt saw off Lillestrom 2-0 and KFUM Oslo 2-1, building a streak of controlled, professional performances, only dropping points in a single draw. This consistency underlines why their win rate sits at 83% for 2026.
Molde’s last match saw them crush Valerenga 5-1, a much-needed boost after a series of mixed results. Breivik starred, supported by Gulbrandsen, but their defensive lapses have cost them in recent weeks. They drew 1-1 with Kristiansand and lost 0-1 to Lillestrom, a sequence that reflects a struggle to string results together. Their 42% win rate this year and erratic form (alternating wins and losses) keep them just outside the upper echelons of the table.

Pre-game odds and win probability: Bodo Glimt the favourite
- Moneyline Bodo Glimt 1.36 | Molde 7.02
- Draw 5.78
- Over/Under Over 2.5 1.65 | Under 2.5 2.15
- BTTS (both teams to score) Yes 1.81 | No 2.00
Bookmakers have Bodo Glimt as heavy favorites, reflecting both their current form and home strength. The win price for Molde is wide, and rightly so. Over 2.5 goals sits at a reasonable price, a nod to both teams’ attacking quality. The market expects goals, but Molde’s inconsistencies make their outright price less attractive for risk-takers. Both teams to score is a plausible play given Molde’s attacking moments and Glimt’s penchant for leaving space during transitions.
Possible Starting Lineups
Bodo Glimt possible starting eleven
- GK: Nikita Haikin
- DF: Fredrik Sjovold, Fredrik Andre Bjorkan, Odin Luras Bjortuft, Jostein Gundersen
- MF: Patrick Berg, Sondre Fet, Hakon Evjen, Sondre Auklend
- FW: Kasper Høgh, Andreas Helmersen
This lineup features the spine that has brought Glimt recent success. Haikin in goal is a lock, and the back four is built for composure and buildup. The midfield trio of Berg, Fet, and Evjen delivers both defensive coverage and ball progression. Up front, Høgh and Helmersen form a direct, physical partnership that has tormented defenses. Expect a 4-4-2, with flexibility to switch to a more attacking 4-2-4 if chasing a result. Høgh’s movement and Berg’s orchestration are pivotal for Glimt’s rhythm.
Molde possible starting eleven
- GK: Albert Posiadala
- DF: Eirik Haugan, Martin Linnes, Birk Risa, Sivert Sira Hansen
- MF: Halldor Stenevik, Emil Breivik, Jacob Christensen, Eirik Hestad
- FW: Fredrik Gulbrandsen, Jalal Abdullai
Molde will look to Breivik’s surging runs from midfield and Gulbrandsen’s pressing up top. The defense remains unchanged from recent games, despite lapses, due to limited options and chemistry. Stenevik anchors the midfield, while Breivik and Hestad will need to break Glimt’s lines. Expect Molde to set up in a 4-4-2, but with Breivik often joining the attack to provide support. Watch for Breivik’s ability to arrive late in the box as a major threat.

The Verdict
We predict Bodo Glimt to claim the points at Aspmyra Stadion. Their consistency, superior pass accuracy, and offensive variety have set them apart all season. Molde’s attack does provide a threat Breivik is always capable of a goal but their tendency to concede and accumulate cards under pressure weighs heavily. A lively game with goals is on the cards, but the home side’s edge in midfield and at both ends should see them through. Expect Molde to score, yet Glimt to outgun them by the final whistle.
