Head-to-Head
- Since July 2022, Kjetil Knutsen has been head coach of FK Bodo Glimt.
- In Eliteserien 2026, FK Bodo Glimt has won one and drawn one of their two meetings with Rosenborg BK.
- A perfect example of Glimt’s style can be seen in the fluidity of their 4-3-3 system, which allows the half-spaces to overload with attacking players, whilst also creating vertical passing triggers to counter press opponents that have been pushed back.
- In contrast, Rosenborg’s new-look 4-3-3 system has been far more pragmatic since Alexander Tettey’s appointment in May 2026, with them switching between high pressing and compact blocks to create structure in a team still searching for an identity.
Rosenborg BK
- In 15th place with eight points after 10 games, Rosenborg have much more work to do if they are to pull off an impressive 2026 season.
- They enter Friday’s game with one win, one draw, and three defeats from their last five and they’re looking to recover from back-to-back losses against Aalesund (0-2) and KFUM (0-1).
FK Bodo Glimt (away)
- However, things have been much better for Glimt of late, who have won four of their last five matches, including the last four in a row.
- They battered Tromso IL 5-0 last time out and beat IK Start Kristiansand 4-1 away from home a week prior.
- On the road, they have won three, drawn one, and lost one of their matches this term, averaging 2.00 goals per game for and 1.40 against.
- Glimt will try to overload Rosenborg’s defence with balls through the channels and force the home side to compress their central areas to prevent penetration.
Key Players
- Haakon Evjen is red-hot for the visitors, scoring four of their 13 goals in their last five.
- For Rosenborg, Amin Chiakha has been a bright spark, netting two of his side’s five goals in the same amount of games.
