Bodo Glimt vs Valerenga Prediction
Bodo Glimt vs Valerenga Prediction and Betting Tips for Saturday, July 27, in the Eliteserien. The clash takes place at Aspmyra Stadion, with the reigning champions riding a hot streak and eyeing a fourth straight league win. In this article, you’ll find our detailed Eliteserien Predictions backed by match stats and trends from XpertStats experts.
- Bodo Glimt have scored 2.57 goals per match on average this season
- Valerenga concede an average of 5.63 corners per game
- The last five meetings have all gone Bodo Glimt’s way
- Both teams average over 10 corners per match
Bodo Glimt are cooking right now. Three wins on the bounce, including a gutsy 4-2 away win against leaders Viking, show why they’re still a force to be feared. Kasper Høgh is leading the charge with 10 goals in 14 appearances, while the midfield looks sharp and aggressive. With 29 points from 14 games and three matches in hand, Kjetil Knutsen’s squad is lurking dangerously just behind the top. Their average of 2.57 goals per game and 100% over 1.5 goals record? That’s not just good, that’s elite.
But it’s not just about the goals. Bodo Glimt are a corners machine, racking up an average of 7 per game and hitting over 8.5 corners in 56% of matches. Combine that with a stingy defense (just 0.86 goals conceded per game) and you’ve got a team that dominates from both ends of the pitch. Their only two losses in the last nine came at home, but even so, they’ve still got 15 points from seven games in front of their fans. Solid stuff.
Valerenga? Not quite in the same gear, but they’re doing alright. They’ve grabbed 10 points from eight away games this season, not bad for a team that just came back up from the First Division. Their 3-0 win over Haugesund last weekend showed some fight, with Brice Ambina getting on the scoresheet and Elias Sørensen bagging a brace. Still, scoring just one goal per game on average while conceding five-plus corners every outing is a red flag against a side like Glimt.
Coach Geir Bakke will be counting on midfielders like Ambina and 19-year-old Filip Thorvaldsen to help steady the ship. But history isn’t on their side. Valerenga haven’t beaten Bodo Glimt since 2019, and they’ve lost the last five in a row to them in the league. With Glimt hitting top gear and Valerenga still settling into top-flight life, this could be another long night in Bodø for the visitors. Still, football’s unpredictable… right?
Bodo Glimt are simply on another level. They've won their last three Eliteserien matches and just beat league leaders Viking 4-2 away, no easy feat. With 2.57 goals scored per match and a league-best defense (0.86 goals conceded per game), it’s hard to see Valerenga pulling off an upset here. The home side also hasn’t lost to Valerenga since 2019 and has won the last five meetings. Add in the firepower of Kasper Høgh, who has 10 goals in 14 appearances, and you’ve got a dangerous mix. Valerenga, by contrast, average just 1 goal per game and have suffered four losses in their last seven away games. Even with some fight in their squad, the gap in quality and form is clear. Bodo Glimt are at home, in form, and statistically superior across all departments. Backing them to win feels like the safest bet on the card.
This one’s all about playing the percentages. Bodo Glimt average 10 corners per match: 7 won and 3 conceded, while Valerenga edge slightly higher with 10.63, driven by 5.63 conceded and 5 won. That’s a recipe for corner volume. Glimt alone hit over 8.5 corners in 56% of their games. Valerenga? Even better at 63%. These teams push wide, play attacking football, and generate chances through crosses and set pieces. It’s also worth noting that when Glimt control games, which they often do at home, they rack up corners quickly. Against Viking, they earned 8 corners—against a much stronger team than Valerenga. With the Bohemians likely on the back foot, defending in numbers, Glimt will push hard down the flanks, especially with players like Høgh and Evjen probing. Expect a flurry of corners, and barring an outlier, the numbers strongly suggest this one sails past 8.5.
