Bryne – Bodø Glimt 30-03-2025

Bryne, who managed to get promoted to the Eliteserien by finishing second in the Obos league last year, will have a great visit to Bryne Stadion in their first league match, when they host the big favorite Bodø Glimt in the first round of the league. Here, there is nothing to be excited about right away.

Because if you are going to meet first, get to try yourself at this level, why not do it against the best. This Glimt team is naturally clear favorites, which we also wrote about in our table tips here ! There we also had today's opponent Bryne last of all. We know that each individual match can live its own life. But that this one ends with something other than an away win, will surprise both us and others greatly. We will look at why.

Bryne – Difficult in this and the season.

Bryne has for the first time since 2003 taken a step back into good company. Some money has been poured into the team and the organization, but not on such a large scale that it will mean much. It is probably therefore extra bitter that a player like Svindal is injured. He was brought in to be one of the players who would add experience to this team.

The players in this team are almost untested at this level, and both nerves and seriousness will probably play a role in this series opener. They have a young team, and will have a tough time against the team that is undoubtedly the most established of all teams in this division.

They have increased the stadium capacity from 4000 -> 5000 for this season, and that says a bit about the local interest. The team will probably get good support at home. Especially in a game like this, when they want everything to win. We still think that this will be a reality check, and a welcome they will not soon forget. They will probably sell themselves dearly, but they will face their superiority from a team that can only attack.

Bodø Glimt – Top European quality.

Who hasn't been impressed by what Bodø Glimt has achieved in recent years? We certainly have. They have also cracked the difficult code of being in shape so early in the season, considering their European Cup adventure. We think that will soon mean trouble for today's home team. Because this team is currently grinding against top European opposition.

Then this opponent will probably be easy compared to Olympiakos and Twente. Because that's what the opponents have been like lately. Superb overall victories from the team in the yellow jerseys. If Bodø Glimt takes this match seriously, they will be able to win by more goals. Because this is not a team that sits back. They continue to attack, as it is part of the DNA of this team.

In addition, it looks like Glimt has found its striker who can score up to 30 goals this year. Kasper Høgh has looked more trained, and has prioritized a little differently, after he came to terms with himself. He will quickly become the top scorer this year. A Glimt with a striker in form will score goals in this league.

At the same time, as I said, they have European Cup form, while the other teams are in the starting blocks of their seasons.

Conclusion – A dominant team.

We envision a match where Bodø Glimt will completely dominate. The team loves to stand tall when they can, and we think it may be difficult for Bryne to play out. They will create many corners, and it can always be a relevant game for Bodø Glimt when they face weaker opponents.

But we really believe in another bet at good odds this time. Because now Glimt is facing weaker opposition, they will attack regardless of whether they are leading. We imagine that the team can just as well win by 2 goals as by 1 goal. When we get such good odds on it, we have to try such a variant.
