- Home form: Bodo/Glimt have won four and lost only one of their five home games in Eliteserien 2026, conceding just two goals.
- Head-to-head: Bodo/Glimt have won two of the last three meetings between the two clubs, including a 3-0 win at home in Eliteserien 2025.
- Away form: Ham-Kam are yet to win away in Eliteserien 2026, with two defeats and three draws from five attempts.
A home win is the clear preference
Prediction & odds
Bodo Glimt should have far too much quality and class for Ham-Kam when these two meet at Aspmyra Stadion on Wednesday, but the visitors could be an awkward opponent for the hosts. The draw at 7.7 looks a good pick for the upset option here with Kjetil Knutsen's men rated a mere 1.19 with the bookies.
Form and style
Bodo Glimt have won their last two and four of their last five while Ham-Kam are unbeaten in their last five with two wins and three draws. This matchup appears to have all the makings of a possession-versus-counter clash, but with Glimt's tempo and pressing game, they should keep the initiative for most of this game.
Tactics
Glimt's 4-3-3 system, which can morph into overloads or high-speed vertical breaks, is designed to punish the opposition with pace and numbers, while their counter-press is meant to suffocate the opponent after the ball is won back. And Knutsen's blueprint still seems brutally effective since he took over as head coach in July 2022.
Glimt’s goalscoring quality is clear
FK Bodo Glimt are third in the Eliteserien 2026 table with 26 points from 12 games while Ham-Kam are sixth with 18 points from 11, so the gap between the clubs is clear. Their form, which has seen them win four and draw one of their last five, looks just about good enough to keep the visitors at arm's length.
- FK Bodo Glimt's last two results, a 4-1 friendly win away at Molde and a 2-0 away win over KFUM Oslo in the league, show that they are sharp at both ends of the field.
- Ham-Kam are still looking for their first away win of the season, having drawn three and lost two of their first five away, which suggests this will be an uphill battle for them.
- Glimt's average of 0.40 goals per game conceded at home this season and their defensive record is what allows them to push forward in the right numbers.
- Ham-Kam are averaging 1.40 goals per away game in 2026 and conceding at 2.20 per game, which should please the Glimt front line.
Bodo’s ball-players have enough quality
Ham-Kam are a different animal under the stewardship of Thomas Myhre since June 2025, sitting deeper and playing a more compact and pragmatic system that relies on structure and transition moments. Patrick Metcalfe has added three assists to his growing reputation in their last five games and they have a sharp shooter in Aksel Baran Potur, who has scored three of their seven goals in their last five.
The Hammers will sit deep and compact before looking to counter through the wide areas or in transition, so they could survive the early storm from Glimt and keep this game close enough to threaten. But the hosts, who have the class in every position and are clearly the better team, should win this one.
A home win with a shutout looks the best way to go in this fixture, given Glimt's miserly home record and Ham-Kam's away record, but the draw at 7.7 offers a good opportunity for the moneyline bettor.
