【Key Factors】
Critical key factors include Viking’s superior goal-scoring record at home, averaging 2.5 goals per match compared to Bodo Glimt’s 1.67 goals per away game. Viking also tend to score more in the second half, with 75% of games seeing goals after halftime. Defensively, Viking concede slightly more but maintain 38% clean sheets at home. Bodo Glimt’s strength lies in a near-perfect record in the first half, scoring in every away game’s first half this season and conceding very few goals early. Set pieces, midfield battles, and the ability to break defensive lines quickly will likely influence which team gains the upper hand here.

【Expert Prediction】
The expert prediction leans toward Viking securing a narrow win, likely 2-1, given their dominance at home and better recent league form. However, based on the history of high-scoring and tight finishes, Bodo Glimt are expected to challenge strongly, potentially scoring and keeping the contest lively until the final whistle. Expect an open game with end-to-end play and goal-scoring opportunities for both sides, but Viking’s consistency and home advantage suggest they will edge this critical Eliteserien encounter.
