Sandefjord won’t surrender Bodo/Glimt easily
Sandefjord are 11th in Eliteserien 2026 with 15 points from 13 games and Bodø/Glimt are third with 29 points from 13, so the visitors are clear favourites to win this game at 1.4.
The draw is 5.1 and home team come in at 6.0, so it's hard to recommend anything other than the visiting team to come out on top. Bodø/Glimt's last three results – 4-1 at Molde, 2-0 at KFUM Oslo and 1-0 over Fredrikstad – have been a statement of intent that this is a serious outfit, unlike Sandefjord's last two which were a 2-2 home tie with Hamarkameratene and a 2-1 away defeat to Viking.
Glimt have got Sandefjord’s measure in recent times
Home form
Hans Erik Oedegaard's men will need to produce a much better performance to compete with the visitors on Sunday, but they have been pretty solid at home in Eliteserien 2026. Sandefjord are 2-3-1 at home and have only conceded five goals in six fixtures, so they can be stubborn in their own box.
Tactics and key player
Kjetil Knutsen has Bodø/Glimt humming along in a 4-3-3 system with a high-energy counter-press to keep the opposition pinned back at all times. Nikolaj Moeller is the spark plug, having scored two goals in Sandefjord's last five matches and getting better with each passing fixture.
Head-to-head
The head-to-head between these two sides also makes Glimt favorites to take the win at Jotun Arena, where they have won three of the last five meetings against one victory for Sandefjord, with one draw.
High-flying visitors can force BTTS
Bodø/Glimt nicked a 2-1 victory away at Sandefjord in last year's corresponding fixture in Eliteserien 2025 and that will keep them in the minds of the hosts, while the away form of the winners this season looks strong enough to support an away win with both teams to score at 1.48.
- Over 2.5 goals at 1.35 is a good price in its own right, but both teams to score, yes is the better bet by a nose.
- Sandefjord's rigid 1-4-4-2 approach, where they stay compact and hope to exploit their opponents on the counterattack, will come up against Glimt's swarming, attacking game.
- Oedegaard's team should cope with the first part of that battle, but the second will test them as Bodø/Glimt's rotation game stretches the home back line.
