Tactical clash of styles in Trondheim
Rosenborg BK’s head coach since May 2026, Alexander Tettey, is yet to find the right recipe for the Troillongan side, despite some good individual performances, most notably by forward Amin Chiakha. He has scored two of his team’s five goals in the last five rounds of games, the only bright spot in a run of one win, one draw and three defeats.
Glimt’s style of play is in stark contrast. Kjetil Knutsen has orchestrated an aggressive, high-tempo and very fluid 4-3-3 since his appointment as head coach in July 2022. The players move the ball quickly in short passing, overloading the half-spaces and looking to exploit vertical triggers at any opportunity. It’s a highly intensive game plan which means Bodo Glimt are constantly in the opposition half and constantly counter-pressing.
This Rosenborg BK vs FK Bodo Glimt preview highlights that the game is likely to see some exciting soccer. Bodo Glimt will look to get in behind RBK’s defense and exploit the half-spaces. RBK have made some adjustments under their new head coach to be more pragmatic and less fluid, but they are still switching between pressing high and sitting in compact blocks as the club looks for stability. We think that Glimt’s overloads and triggers should cause problems for Tettey’s organization and ability to compress the channels, and our Rosenborg BK vs FK Bodo Glimt prediction supports this analysis.
Bodo Glimt should take all three points
Glimt are in form and have the superior quality, both in terms of individual quality and overall team. Rosenborg have conceded an average of 1.40 goals in five home games in the league and they have failed to win any of their three previous home clashes with Glimt. Therefore, this Rosenborg BK vs FK Bodo Glimt prediction suggests that the odds of 1.52 for the away win on Friday are pretty generous.
It will be a good game with both teams likely to score and ‘Over 2.5 Goals’ at 1.37 is also a good bet. The Rosenborg BK vs FK Bodo Glimt betting tips favor Haakon Evjen of Glimt, who is on a hot streak, having scored four of their 13 goals in the last five.
