Offensively they are averaging 1.60 goals per game, with 1.60 conceded. 2 clean sheets from 10 outings (20%).

Both teams have scored in 80% of their home games — an outstanding BTTS rate that is a key data point for this fixture.

Bodo/Glimt — last 10 games: 8W 1D 1L — 2.50 PPG. Last five: W D W W W. Their attacking form is sharp — 3.40 goals per game is a high-output rate that commands respect in the goals markets. 4 clean sheets in 10 outings (40%) underlines their defensive solidity. Both teams have scored in 60% of their games — a noteworthy BTTS rate that supports the Yes market.

When travelling, Bodo/Glimt have posted 6W 3D 1L from their last 10 away outings — 2.10 PPG. They are averaging 2.40 goals per away game — strong road scoring that makes them a threat even without home support. Both teams have scored in 80% of their away matches — a high BTTS rate on the road that directly informs this fixture.

Form points away from home here. Bodo/Glimt's 2.50 PPG return is 1.10 points per game ahead of Kristiansund BK's 1.40 — the visitors are the form-based selection, and Double Chance is an alternative worth pricing if the outright looks tight.

Both teams have scored in at least 80% of each side's games (from Kristiansund BK's last 10 home games and Bodo/Glimt's last 10 away games). At that combined rate, BTTS Yes is as well-evidenced as it gets — the data strongly backs two-way scoring.

Trading Patterns

Kristiansund BK in-play and half-time data (last 30 games, 15 of them at home): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 67% of their matches in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 70% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 70% of those occasions; of the 11 games they led at half-time, they failed to win 54%; of the 6 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 67%; BTTS occurs in 80% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 73% of games (home games); Over 3.5 in 43%.

Bodo/Glimt in-play and half-time data (last 30 games, 15 of them away): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 93% of their matches in away games; they lead at the break 80% of the time; BTTS occurs in 80% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 93% of games (away games); Over 3.5 in 67%.

From a combined perspective, both sides have high BTTS rates — Kristiansund BK 83% and Bodo/Glimt 70% — which reinforces the BTTS Yes angle from in-play data. Over 2.5 goals is well-supported by both sides' in-play profiles (Kristiansund BK 70% | Bodo/Glimt 90%).

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Kristiansund BK 1.75 xG and Bodo/Glimt 1.58 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: Kristiansund BK attack 1.039 / defence 1.091 | Bodo/Glimt attack 1.197 / defence 0.942. League average goals — home 1.789 / away 1.210. Data: built from Kristiansund BK's last 31 games and Bodo/Glimt's last 31. Some of those games are older results, so treat these probabilities as directional rather than precise.

Result probabilities: Kristiansund BK 40% | Draw 27% | Bodo/Glimt 33%. Fair-value odds: Kristiansund BK 2.49 | Draw 3.75 | Bodo/Glimt 3.02. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome reaches 45%. The draw at 27% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 65% | BTTS Yes probability 68% | Total xG 3.33. Over 2.5 is the model's clear signal at 65% — a total xG of 3.33 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 68% — both xG figures (1.75 / 1.58) are high enough that each side is projected to find the net.

Our Verdict

Poisson rates Kristiansund BK as the most likely outcome at 40% — marginal model lean. Note a divergence: in-form Bodo/Glimt (2.50 PPG) cuts against the Poisson lean — the model adjusts for opposition strength, which raw form results do not. With a 27% draw probability, Draw No Bet on Kristiansund BK offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win. The opposing side holds a 33% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.

On the goals line, Poisson's 3.33 combined xG gives a 65% probability to Over 2.5 — reasonable conviction, supported by recent form (Kristiansund BK's last 10 home games and Bodo/Glimt's last 10 away games) averaging 3.9 goals per game.

Poisson assigns a 68% probability to BTTS Yes based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates corroborate — both teams scored in: Kristiansund BK 80% (last 10 home games) | Bodo/Glimt 80% (last 10 away games).

The Poisson model's sample (Kristiansund BK 31 games, Bodo/Glimt 31) includes some older results, so its projections carry extra uncertainty — weight recent form and the odds accordingly.
