Bodoe/Glimt vs Lillestroem Betting Tips 31/07

Defensive solidity

Complementing their attacking threat, Bodoe/Glimt have also showcased strong defensive organisation. They have kept clean sheets in six of their last nine matches, indicating a robust backline capable of limiting opposition chances. This dual threat of potent attack and solid defence has been a hallmark of their recent performances.

Lillestroem's recent form

Lillestroem's recent results present a more mixed picture. While they have secured some victories, including a 2-1 win against KFUM and a 2-0 victory over Fredrikstad, they have also suffered defeats. Their last Eliteserien fixture saw them lose 1-2 at home to Viking. The team will be looking to find greater consistency as they head into this challenging fixture.

Team news and expected lineups

Bodoe/Glimt are expected to field a forward line including Ola Brynhildsen and Andreas Helmersen, supported by midfielders such as Patrick Berg and Sondre Brunstad Fet. The defence is anticipated to be marshalled by Jostein Gundersen and Odin Luraas Bjoertuft. The absence of Haakon Evjen due to injury is a notable blow for Bodoe/Glimt. Lillestroem's expected lineup features forwards Felix Va and Thomas Lehne Olsen, with Markus Seehusen Karlsbakk and Gustav Kjoelstad Nyheim expected in midfield. The defensive unit is likely to include Espen Garnaas and Ruben Gabrielsen.

Historical encounters

Recent history between these two sides has often favoured Bodoe/Glimt. In their last meeting on 26 April 2026, Bodoe/Glimt secured a 2-0 victory. Earlier in the season, they also won 4-0 in a cup tie. However, past results can offer only limited insight into the dynamics of a new encounter, with both teams likely to approach this Eliteserien clash with fresh determination.
