Sandefjord are in the midst of a resurgence
Sandefjord, a team that started the season slowly, have shown a notable improvement since Hans Erik Oedegaard was appointed as their head coach in May 2024.
His pragmatic and compact side have been difficult to score against and have enjoyed a few good wins, although their recent form has been mixed (W1, D2, L2) and they welcome Norway’s table-topping Bodø/Glimt to the Release Arena on Sunday. For a comprehensive Sandefjord vs FK Bodo Glimt prediction, recent results and team dynamics need careful consideration.
Sandefjord have split their last two home games, winning one and losing one, the latter of which may have been a result of fatigue after a long week of games. They’ll need all the energy they can get for this clash as Glimt look to maintain their psychological advantage.
Glimt are out to take the psychological edge
Bodø Glimt’s excellent 2025 campaign so far has seen Kjetil Knutsen’s side sit atop the Eliteserien table with 42 points from 19 matches, a full 14 points ahead of Sandefjord who sit 6th with 28 from 18 games.
Bodø/Glimt have won six, drawn two and lost just one of their nine away fixtures in Eliteserien 2025 and have been in fine scoring form with 22 goals scored. They’re rightful favorites to win this game and are odds on with a 1.53 tag, while Sandefjord are 5.10 underdogs according to the latest Sandefjord vs FK Bodo Glimt prediction.
Going for goals
Knutsen’s Glimt have played with a free-flowing, attacking style throughout his tenure since July 2022, playing a 4-3-3 and pressing high to try and control the ball. They do so again here, while Oedegaard’s Sandefjord will set up shop with the aim of remaining compact and hitting opponents on the counter.
Given the contrasting styles of these teams, this Sandefjord vs FK Bodo Glimt preview suggests it’s likely to be an exciting game. Glimt are on a run of 5-0 and 5-0 victories respectively away to Stromsgodset and at home to SK Sturm Graz in Eliteserien and Champions League qualifying, and their superior quality should eventually see them take the win.
However, a disciplined Sandefjord could well keep this close for a while and with Glimt boasting a 3-1-1 record in this H2H, the Over 2.5 goals bet looks a safer option for this encounter. As part of our Sandefjord vs FK Bodo Glimt betting tips, the Over 2.5 goals market is recommended.
