Head-to-Head

Bodø/Glimt
- Jens Petter Hauge was the difference maker in Glimt’s recent European wins over Inter, City and Atleti, making decisive contributions with both goals and assists in those games.
- Nikita Haikin is the hero of Glimt’s win at Atleti and a proven winner in the big games.
Molde
- Mats Møller Dæhli and Eirik Hestad are the beating hearts of the midfield in Molde’s system.
- Fredrik Gulbrandsen is a consistent goalscorer at the top level but will need to be at his most clinical as Glimt will press him and close down space.
Betting Insights
- The bookmakers have the champions at 2.12 ahead of Molde, who are 3.0 to take the victory, with the draw at 3.8.
- Over 2.5 goals looks a strong option at 1.42, because both sides will look to attack in this second-round cup tie.
Prediction
Back Glimt to pull through in this tie because their recent form and quality of attacking players should see them through, but Molde are a good home team and could catch them out on Thursday at Aker Stadion .
