Match Analysis

Bodo/Glimt host Start at Aspmyra Stadion in Eliteserien, Regular Season - 18. Kick-off is scheduled for Thursday 30 April 2026 at 17:00 UTC.

Form Analysis

Looking at all fixtures this season, Bodo/Glimt stand at 8W 1D 1L from 10 Eliteserien matches — 2.50 PPG. Last five: W L W W W. They are averaging 3.40 goals per game — a high-scoring output that makes them a genuine attacking threat in any fixture. 3 clean sheets from 10 outings provides some defensive foundation. Both teams have scored in 70% of their games — a high BTTS rate that carries real weight in the goals markets.

At home at Aspmyra Stadion, Bodo/Glimt have gone 8W 1D 1L this season (10 games, 2.50 PPG). They are averaging 3.50 goals per home game — a prolific scoring rate in front of their own fans. 5 clean sheets from 10 home games (50%) — they are an exceptionally hard side to score against at Aspmyra Stadion.

H2H Record

There is little to separate the sides historically. From 2 previous meetings, Bodo/Glimt have won 1, Start 0, with 1 draws — a balanced ledger that offers no obvious directional steer on its own.

The 2 previous encounters between these sides have been high-scoring affairs — 4.0 goals per contest on average. Historical precedent backs the Over 2.5 goals market. The most recent clash, on 2 Dec 2020, ended 1–1 with a draw.

With the win record balanced, the strongest H2H-derived signal is in the goals market. At 4.0 goals per game historically, Over 2.5 is the cleaner angle to extract from the head-to-head data.

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Bodo/Glimt 2.63 xG and Start 0.75 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 1.325 / defence 0.811 | Start attack 0.741 / defence 1.242. League average goals — home 1.598 / away 1.246. Bodo/Glimt carry an above-average attack strength of 1.325 — their λ of 2.63 reflects genuine attacking quality above the league norm. Start bring a strong defensive rating of 1.242 — this is suppressing Bodo/Glimt's projected output below what their attack strength alone would suggest. Data: 35 Bodo/Glimt games / 6 Start games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Bodo/Glimt 77% | Draw 16% | Start 8%. Fair-value odds: Bodo/Glimt 1.30 | Draw 6.25 | Start 12.50. The model has a clear lean to Bodo/Glimt (77%) — a 69pp gap over the next-most-likely outcome reflects a meaningful statistical advantage.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 66% | BTTS probability 50% | Total xG 3.38. Over 2.5 is the model's clear signal at 66% — a total xG of 3.38 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 probability of 50% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Analysis Verdict

On the Poisson output, Bodo/Glimt are the pick at 77% — clear model lean.

Poisson projects 3.38 total expected goals, pointing to Over 2.5 at 66% probability — Poisson-only — limited corroboration conviction.
