Glimt looking to bounce back from recent slip
Bodo and Viking have both been among the most progressive clubs in Norway in recent years and when they meet on Wednesday in the Eliteserien 2025, two clubs that are chasing the title and European places will be involved in a tactical battle. Our FK Bodo Glimt vs Viking Stavanger preview highlights how critical this encounter could be for both sides.
FK Bodo Glimt have slipped to eighth with ten points from five matches and need to get back to winning ways after losing their previous three games in all comps.
Viking Stavanger are the league leaders with 20 points from nine matches.
Bjarte Lunde Aarsheim has made Viking a more progressive and attack-minded side since taking over in 2021, while Kjetil Knutsen has done a brilliant job with FK Bodo Glimt since July 2022 in implementing his style of all-action Scandinavian football.
But the hosts are in a slump and after defeats to Tottenham (0-2) and Tromso IL (1-2) in their recent games, Glimt need to come back with a win.
They are 1.80 favorites for this game against Viking, who are 4.00 with the draw available at 3.90, and our FK Bodo Glimt vs Viking Stavanger prediction suggests Glimt's home form could be decisive.
That’s because FK Bodo Glimt have won five of the past seven head-to-heads, with Viking winning just once, and the previous meeting finishing 1-1 at Viking’s ground during Eliteserien 2024. This FK Bodo Glimt vs Viking Stavanger prediction is further supported by their strong recent record.
Glimt will try to press Viking into submission
Viking are in better form and we feel there is some value in backing the away team, but the draw is our preferred option here as the hosts have been impressive at home. However, the FK Bodo Glimt vs Viking Stavanger betting tips indicate that both outcomes are worth considering.
This should be a good game for the neutral fans as it represents a clash between two very different styles of football.
Bodo are a high-pressing side that like to get men behind the ball in their 4-3-3 system, seeking to overwhelm their opponents wide with quick transitions from defence to attack.
Viking are a more measured side in their 4-3-3, where they look to build up with short passing and use their talented wingers to make things happen.
Zlatko Tripic is the key man for the visitors and with five goals in his last five matches, he’s in lethal form at the moment.
Glimt have Kasper Waarts Hoegh to provide a focal point, as he has three of his side’s last six goals, but it’s the visitors who are more likely to have the answer to the question of which team will get the better of this matchup.
The odds for a Viking win are tempting, but Glimt are an even more tempting 1.80 and, given they have won both home games in Eliteserien 2025, averaging three goals per match and none conceded at Aspmyra, we will take them to be the more likely winners here according to this FK Bodo Glimt vs Viking Stavanger prediction.
However, there are usually goals when these two clubs meet and we will be taking Over 2.5 goals as an alternative bet to the home win in this game.
