Bodø/Glimt
- Bodø/Glimt have won 3 of their last 5 games and lost the other 2.
- Kjetil Knutsen has been in charge of the Bodo club since July of 2022 and his side are very much a continuation of the philosophy laid down by his predecessor.
- They have scored 3.10 goals per game at home in the 2026 campaign as a rule and should go through Kråkene with little fuss.
Kristiansund BK
- Kristiansund BK have won 2, drawn 1 and lost 2 of their last 5 matches.
- Bodø/Glimt are 2nd in Eliteserien 2026 with 50 points from 21 games while Kristiansund are 15th with 19.
- The visitors have adopted a more pragmatic approach to the game since Amund Skiri took over as head coach in August 2023.
- Skiri's side have conceded 26 goals in 11 away trips in the 2026 season, which is not a solid base to go up against a side with Glimt's qualities.
Head-to-Head
- The contrast between FK Bodo Glimt and Kristiansund BK is clear for all to see in Norway's Eliteserien 2026 table and the two clubs will put their very different approaches on display at Aspmyra Stadion on Saturday.
- De gule have been dominant on their own patch in the Eliteserien 2026 with nine wins and just one defeat, so they are a short price to overcome the struggling Kråkene, who are without a win in two attempts against their hosts.
Key Players
- Leander Alvheim is the biggest threat Kristiansund have, scoring four of his side's last eight goals in his last five games.
- But Glimt have enough in their arsenal to cause major problems for Kråkene in any area of the field.
- Glimt operate a fluid 4-3-3 system that is easily switched to a 4-2-3-1 with fast rotations and a strong press from the front.

- Backing Over 2.5 goals at 1.17 points to another open Glimt-led game while Both Teams to Score - No at 1.87 fits the home edge too.
