With the win record balanced, the strongest H2H signal is in the goals market — at 3.5 goals per game, Over 2.5 is the cleaner angle from the head-to-head data.

Trading & In-Play

Bodo/Glimt — key trading statistics (last 31 games, 15 of them at home): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 80% 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 48% of the time; of the 7 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 43%; BTTS occurs in 73% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 73% of games (home games); Over 3.5 in 64%.

Brann — key trading statistics (last 31 games, 15 of them away): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 87% of their matches in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 89% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 67% of those occasions; of the 6 games they led at half-time, they failed to win 67%; of the 12 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 50%; BTTS occurs in 67% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 60% of games (away games); Over 3.5 in 48%.

From a combined perspective, both sides have high BTTS rates — Bodo/Glimt 68% and Brann 71% — 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% | Brann 61%). Note also that Brann surrender HT leads in 67% of cases while Bodo/Glimt recover from half-time deficits to draw or win 43% of the time — a dynamic that could influence in-play positioning.

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Bodo/Glimt 2.54 xG and Brann 0.70 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 1.362 / defence 0.958 | Brann attack 0.733 / defence 1.156. League average goals — home 1.614 / away 0.991. Bodo/Glimt carry an above-average attack rating of 1.362 — their 2.54 xG reflects attacking quality above the league norm. Brann's attack rating of 0.733 is below the league average, which holds their xG down at 0.70. Data: built from Bodo/Glimt's last 33 games and Brann's last 3. Some of those games are older results, so treat these probabilities as directional rather than precise.

Result probabilities: Bodo/Glimt 76% | Draw 16% | Brann 7%. Fair-value odds: Bodo/Glimt 1.31 | Draw 6.11 | Brann 13.97. The model has a clear lean to Bodo/Glimt (76%) — a 60pp gap over the next-most-likely outcome reflects a meaningful statistical advantage.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 63% | BTTS Yes probability 47% | Total xG 3.24. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 63% — the 3.24 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS No at 53% is only a slight lean — the model gives both sides a fair chance of scoring, so No isn't a clear standalone call.

Picks & Verdict

On the Poisson output, Bodo/Glimt are the pick at 76% — clear model lean. Recent form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support.

On the goals line, Poisson's 3.24 combined xG gives a 63% probability to Over 2.5 — reasonable conviction, supported by recent form (Bodo/Glimt's last 10 home games and Brann's last 10 away games) averaging 4.2 goals per game.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is No at 53%. This conflicts with form data — both teams scored in: Bodo/Glimt 60% (last 10 home games) | Brann 80% (last 10 away games), a notable divergence.

The Poisson model's sample (Bodo/Glimt 33 games, Brann 3) includes some older results, so its projections carry extra uncertainty — weight recent form and the odds accordingly.
