Bodø/Glimt vs SK Brann: Eliteserien Preview, May 24
Bodø/Glimt host SK Brann on Sunday afternoon in a fixture that pits the league's in-form side against a struggling visitor. The hosts arrive with three wins in their last five matches, while Brann have managed just one draw across their last five outings. Bodø/Glimt's dominance in the head-to-head record—five wins in the last ten meetings—suggests another comfortable afternoon for the Norwegian champions, though Brann's three victories in that same span indicate they remain capable of producing an upset.
Form Guide: Bodø/Glimt's Momentum Against Brann's Decline
Bodø/Glimt's recent record of LWWLW demonstrates a side finding rhythm at the right time in the season. Three wins in five matches, with only two defeats, suggests the hosts have stabilised after an inconsistent patch. The pattern shows they are capable of stringing together consecutive victories—their most recent two results were both wins—which is a positive indicator heading into a home fixture against a weaker opponent.
SK Brann's form tells a markedly different story. Their sequence of LLDDL across five matches reveals a team in genuine difficulty. Two losses bookended by two draws and another defeat indicates an inability to build momentum or secure three points consistently. The absence of a win in five matches is a significant concern, and their defensive solidity appears compromised given the frequency of losses. This disparity in form is one of the clearest indicators of what to expect on Sunday.
Head-to-Head Record: Bodø/Glimt's Clear Dominance
The historical record between these two sides heavily favours Bodø/Glimt. In their last ten meetings, the hosts have won five, with SK Brann managing three victories and two draws. This 50 per cent win rate for Bodø/Glimt, combined with their superior recent form, suggests the bookmakers' expectations will reflect a home advantage that extends well beyond the pitch itself. Brann's three wins in this sequence prove they are not without capability, but they arrive in Bodø as clear underdogs.
The consistency of Bodø/Glimt's superiority in this fixture is noteworthy. When combined with their current league form, the head-to-head record suggests this is a matchup where the hosts have both historical and contemporary advantages. For Brann to overturn such a deficit would require a significant performance improvement from their recent displays.
