Bodo Glimt vs Viking Prediction, H2H Stats & Statistical Bets 30 October 2026
🔊 On Friday, the two main title contenders meet in northern Norway. Viking lead Eliteserien with 59 points, while Bodo/Glimt are second, three points behind. A home win would level the teams on points, while a victory for the visitors with five rounds to go would double the leaders' advantage. Earlier in the season at Stavanger, Viking thrashed Bodo/Glimt 5-0 on their own patch. Can the hosts return the favour at home?
Head-to-Head
Viking thrashed Bodo/Glimt 5-0 in their most recent Eliteserien meeting, with the score already 3-0 at half-time. Bodo/Glimt had 71% possession but managed just one shot on target compared to nine for Viking.
Across 20 head-to-head meetings, Bodo/Glimt have won 12 and Viking six, with two draws. Both teams scored in 14 of those matches, and the overall goal tally stands at 49-41 in Bodo/Glimt's favour.
Head-to-head statistics Bodo Glimt - Viking
Bodo/Glimt Team Overview
In their previous Eliteserien match at home, Bodo/Glimt lost to Vålerenga 0-1. Over the 90 minutes, the hosts had 26 shots to their opponents' 13 and created chances worth 2.51 xG, but failed to score.
Bodo/Glimt let their rivals back in themselves. A week ago the two leaders were level on points, but on 24 October Kjetil Knutsen's side lost at home to Vålerenga by a single goal. Viking won their match the following day and moved clear. That slip came during a congested schedule: in the ten days before it, Bodo/Glimt had played two Champions League matches. They beat Borussia Dortmund and scored three times against Napoli, but lost that game 3-4. Despite all that, Bodo/Glimt have conceded fewer goals than anyone else in the Eliteserien - 21 in 24 matches.
Match Results: Bodo/Glimt
Viking Team Overview
Viking beat Tromsø 3-1 in their previous match, scoring all three goals before half-time.
Viking arrive in Bodø on the back of five consecutive Eliteserien wins. The league leaders are also the division's top scorers, with 62 goals in 24 matches. The team is managed by two head coaches - Bjarte Lunde Aarsheim and Morten Jensen. Even the Champions League has not disrupted their rhythm: after every European match, the team have won in the Eliteserien. Against Bayern in October, the Norwegians were two goals up at half-time but ultimately drew 3-3.

Prediction for the 1st half
In their last seven home meetings with Viking, Bodo/Glimt scored before half-time in six of them. We're expecting the hosts to find the net in the first half again. The bet is Bodo/Glimt 1st Half Team Total - Over 0.5.
Total Goals Prediction
Viking have gone 21 away matches in a row without five or more goals being scored. Bodo/Glimt concede few at home, so it will be difficult for the visitors to run up a big score. We are not expecting a high-scoring affair. The bet is Total Goals - Under 4.5.
Correct Score Prediction
The algorithm's top three most likely scorelines are: 1-0 (11.78%), 1-1 (10.06%), and 2-1 (9.14%). Of these, 1-0 has the highest probability.
⭐ Editorial Prediction
Viking have lost just one of their last 12 Eliteserien matches and go into Friday's game on the back of five consecutive wins. They have failed to score in the league only once in their last 36 matches. That is bad news for the hosts: Bodo/Glimt have conceded in 12 of the last 13 head-to-head meetings. A draw would suit Viking just fine - it would keep their three-point lead intact with five rounds to go. We expect Viking to come away from Bodø with at least a point. Our pick is Viking not to lose.
Will this prediction come true?
