H2H History

Neither side has dominated the 3 H2H matches in our data: 1 wins for Bodo/Glimt, 2 for Molde and 0 draws — leaving the H2H largely neutral. With only 3 H2H matches to go on, treat this as a light input.

These two sides have produced goals at a healthy rate, averaging 3.7 per game across the 3 H2H matches we hold. That scoring profile supports the Over 2.5 angle. The most recent of those, on 3 Sep 2022, ended Bodo/Glimt 1–4 Molde — a Molde win.

With the win record balanced, the strongest H2H signal is in the goals market — at 3.7 goals per game, Over 2.5 is the cleaner angle from the head-to-head data.

Trading Data

Bodo/Glimt goal-timing and half-time pattern breakdown (last 42 games, 21 of them at home): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 76% of their matches in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 100% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 100% of those occasions; they lead at the break 50% of the time; of the 9 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 44%; BTTS occurs in 67% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 76% of games (home games); Over 3.5 in 62%.

Molde goal-timing and half-time pattern breakdown (last 42 games, 21 of them away): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 71% of their matches in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 80% of the time; they lead at the break 55% of the time; of the 6 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 33%; BTTS occurs in 57% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 62% of games (away games); Over 3.5 in 40%.

From a combined perspective, both sides have high BTTS rates — Bodo/Glimt 64% and Molde 57% — which reinforces the BTTS Yes angle from in-play data. Over 2.5 goals is well-supported by both sides' in-play profiles (Bodo/Glimt 74% | Molde 69%).

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Bodo/Glimt 2.45 xG and Molde 1.31 xG. These expected goals figures are the primary input: they feed a goal-probability matrix across all scoreline combinations to derive the result and market probabilities below. Underlying strength ratings: Bodo/Glimt attack 1.408 / defence 0.880 | Molde attack 1.218 / defence 1.004. League average goals — home 1.733 / away 1.227. Bodo/Glimt carry an above-average attack rating of 1.408 — their 2.45 xG reflects attacking quality above the league norm. Molde have an above-average attack rating of 1.218, which lifts their away xG to 1.31. Data: built from Bodo/Glimt's last 42 games and Molde's last 42.

Result probabilities: Bodo/Glimt 62% | Draw 18% | Molde 19%. Fair-value odds: Bodo/Glimt 1.60 | Draw 5.42 | Molde 5.21. The model has a clear lean to Bodo/Glimt (62%) — a 43pp gap over the next-most-likely outcome reflects a meaningful statistical advantage.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 73% | BTTS Yes probability 67% | Total xG 3.77. Over 2.5 is the model's clear signal at 73% — a total xG of 3.77 means the expected score alone exceeds the 2.5 threshold, making the Over not just likely but structurally supported by both sides' attack/defence profiles. BTTS Yes at 67% — both xG figures (2.45 / 1.31) are high enough that each side is projected to find the net.

Final Verdict

Poisson rates Bodo/Glimt as the most likely outcome at 62% — clear model lean. Recent form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. Draw No Bet is worth pricing alongside the outright: 18% draw probability makes the stalemate a live outcome even at this conviction level.

Poisson projects 3.77 total expected goals, pointing to Over 2.5 at 73% probability — strong conviction, supported by recent form (Bodo/Glimt's last 10 home games and Molde's last 10 away games) averaging 3.8 goals per game and the H2H data averaging 3.7 goals per game across 3 H2H matches.

On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 67% on Yes. Form rates corroborate — both teams scored in: Bodo/Glimt 60% (last 10 home games) | Molde 50% (last 10 away games).
