Bodø/Glimt
- Bodø/Glimt are favorites to win Friday's top-of-the-table clash with Viking at Aspmyra Stadion, where they have been ruthless in the 2026 campaign.
- The hosts have won ten of their 11 home matches so far, losing just one and conceding only seven goals.
- The home side will come into this clash on the back of four wins from their last five matches, a sequence that includes a 2-0 away win over Ham-Kam, but their 4-3 defeat at Napoli means we can't be certain of a Glimt win.
- Glimt's ability to turn turnovers into immediate scoring opportunities with their fluid possession style can make their games very one-sided, particularly at home.
Viking
- The visitors will arrive in the North Norwegian town in confident mood after a 3-3 draw, although a 3-2 win over Fredrikstad in the league was followed by a 3-1 loss at Aston Villa.
- That's three wins, one draw and one defeat from their last five, but that won't be enough to see off this Glimt side.
- Morten Jensen's side have enough discipline to play a proper chess match, but they can also break quickly when they win the ball, so we think this will be a very tight game.
Head-to-Head
Bodø/Glimt have averaged 1.5 goals per game against Viking in home head-to-heads, while Viking average 2.0 goals as visitors across the last five meetings, so we will take Glimt to force a close win with over 2.5 total goals scored .
Key Players
Peter Christiansen has been the standout killer instinct for De mørkeblå in the final third, having scored seven of their 12 goals across their last five games.
Betting Insights
