- Sandefjord have conceded only 5 goals in 6 games at home.
- Bodø/Glimt have won 4 and drawn 1 of their last 5 and currently come into the game in the ascendancy, following a 3-game winning streak.
- Bodø/Glimt are averaging 2.00 goals per game and conceding an average of 1.29 goals per away game in Eliteserien 2026.
Tough test for Bodo's in-form visitors
It is hard to make a strong case for Sandefjord, who are 11th in Eliteserien 2026 with 15 points from 13 games, against FK Bodo Glimt, who are 3rd with 29 points from 13 matches, but this Sandefjord vs FK Bodo Glimt preview suggests there are enough factors to indicate this won't be an easy fixture for the in-form Northern Lights.
Hans Erik Oedegaard is a very decent footballer who has done a solid job as a coach, but he is yet to make Sandefjord play in a way that suggests they will trouble the top teams. Their recent results have been a 2-2 draw with Hamarkameratene and a 2-1 defeat to Viking, so they are still a work in progress.
Hans Erik Oedegaard has kept them compact in a 1-4-4-2 block, which is similar to what he did at Odd, and he will be relying on structure, discipline and players to have a sharp enough game to counterattack effectively.
They have a 2-3-1 home record, but have only conceded five goals in six home games so they can dig in and stay in the game for periods.
Bodo have the momentum and the mindset
Nikolaj Moeller is their spark in the middle of the park, the Dane has two goals in his last five and looks to be developing a good eye for goal. But Kjetil Knutsen's Bodo are in a different class and have the players to win this game, with the momentum and mindset to do so.
Our Sandefjord vs FK Bodo Glimt prediction is that their last three results tell a story - 4-1 at Molde, 2-0 at KFUM Oslo and 1-0 over Fredrikstad - and they should have enough quality to get the better of Sandefjord again on Sunday. They also won the last head-to-head meeting 2-1 away in the Eliteserien 2025, which helps keep the visitors in pole position.
It has to be said that the market is not a great place to look for value in this game with Glimt 1.4 favourites and Sandefjord 6.0 and the draw 5.1, so the Sandefjord vs FK Bodo Glimt betting tips recommendation is to take the over 2.5 goals at 1.35 and both teams to score at 1.48 for a more open game with BTTS Yes the sharper angle.
Bodo/Glimt are 4-2-1 away with an average of 2.00 scored and 1.29 conceded per game in 2026, so the visitors are the likeliest winners in this clash of Sandefjord's low-to-mid block against Bodo's high-tempo, positional play.
A final Sandefjord vs FK Bodo Glimt prediction is that, with rotation, the pace of Glimt's game should open up the home defence, but with a compact, disciplined unit of their own, Sandefjord should keep it close for spells.
