Bodo’s Blitzkrieg vs. Brann’s Balance
These two clubs represent two of Norway’s most distinct footballing ideologies.
Bodo’s 4-3-3 system is the antithesis of Brann’s setup as the hosts press relentlessly from the front, play high-intensity and aim to pin their opponents back from the start.
Kjetil Knutsen has been the guiding light at the helm of Glimt since July 2022 and his side play a thrilling brand of soccer that has produced some high-scoring wins but also a few games where the opposition have been able to get at their defensive line.
Saltnes is a master of finding pockets of space in the midfield and his drive and creativity help to launch Glimt’s relentless attacks, but it is talisman Amahl Pellegrino who can really turn a match with his intelligent movement and goal-scoring ability.
Brann’s coach Freyr Alexandersson was appointed in January 2025 and has had an immediate effect on the side by making them more disciplined and organised defensively.
Japhet Sery Larsen is the ace defender who provides structure, bite and stability in the heart of the back line.

Goals likely at both ends
Bodo’s recent form has been mixed with 2 wins and 3 losses from their last 5 games. However, their home form has been mixed with just one win in their last 3, and they will have fond memories of the 4-0 win over Rosenborg BK here, but the 4-2 defeat at home to Viking Stavanger will be a concern.
Brann have won 2, drawn 2 and lost 1 of their last 5 matches with a 4-2 victory over Kristiansund BK their most recent result. They were well beaten 0-3 at home by Molde, so confidence will be low ahead of this trip.
