Bodø/Glimt can outscore Sarpsborg
FK Bodø/Glimt are red-hot favourites for Sunday’s Eliteserien clash with Sarpsborg 08, and it’s easy to see why they are rated as such at 1.23. The FK Bodo Glimt vs Sarpsborg 08 odds reflect their strong position going into this match.
The hosts sit fourth in the Eliteserien with 19 points from nine games after maintaining their momentum from an impressive start to the campaign.
Kjetil Knutsen has done a tremendous job with the club since taking over as head coach in July 2022, as he has instilled his 4-3-3 system and high pressing on the players.
Midfielder Ulrik Saltnes has been a key cog in the middle of the park, controlling the tempo and contributing to their attacking dynamism.
But it is the predatory instincts of striker Amahl Pellegrino that really stands out for the hosts, who have shown ruthless finishing in their back-to-back home wins over SK Brann Bergen (3-0) and AIK (4-0).
In short, the FK Bodo Glimt vs Sarpsborg 08 prediction is that they can outscore any team in the league on their day.
Sarpsborg are a stubborn opponent
Sarpsborg 08 are a very different animal from Bodø/Glimt, and Christian Michelsen has already got his players playing a very pragmatic brand of football since taking over as coach recently.
They have drawn three of their five matches, including consecutive 1-1 draws against Fredrikstad and Bryne, and sit ninth after ten games with 14 points.
Our FK Bodo Glimt vs Sarpsborg 08 preview notes that Ole Jørgen Halvorsen is their midfield fulcrum, orchestrating the team’s transitions and driving them forward on the counter, but it is Serge-Junior Martinsson Ngouali who is the heartbeat of the team, breaking up play and starting the attacks.
Sarpsborg’s away record in the 2025 season is a solid two wins and three draws from five trips, conceding an average of only 0.8 goals per game on their travels.
But the stats tell us that Bodø/Glimt are much more likely to win this game, and the FK Bodo Glimt vs Sarpsborg 08 betting tips suggest that an over 2.5 goals bet is very attractive with the home side able to score for fun in front of their own fans.
A title challenge may be on the cards for Bodø/Glimt this season, but Sarpsborg 08 are also in the mix for a very decent mid-table finish and will certainly come to the table to earn a point.
However, the last two meetings between the clubs were both won by Bodø/Glimt, including a 2-0 away win in club friendlies last year, so our FK Bodo Glimt vs Sarpsborg 08 prediction is backing the home team to pick up another emphatic win with Sarpsborg likely to make them work for it.
