Fredrikstad vs Bodo/Glimt Prediction & Betting Tips (16 July)

Only two small points separate Fredrikstad and Bodo/Glimt before playing this late match of the fifth day of the Norwegian first division. At the gates of the Top 4, the group trained by Kjetil Kutsen wants to continue its crazy rise to the classroom, notably by signing a second success in a row in the league. After a point taken out of six possible, it was time for the supergeting to find the way to victory after 180 delicate minutes in Norway. Another important point to point out, the yellow horde has started to defend! She has just achieved her first clean-sheet after the right result against Brann on the 3-0 score at the end of June. In short, if the situation of last weekend is repeating, the yellows and blacks will be able to finish the game with a smile.

 Problem, Fredrikstad also regained confidence in the championship with a great victory acquired against Molde on the 4-0 score. This is the end of a series of eight games without a single success on the horizon! Enough logically, Bodo retains a favorite status but men led by Andreas Hagen no longer want to experience a feeling of disappointment at the end of regulation time. Author of a second period XXL with four goals scored, including one doubled by Ohlenschlaeger, the FKF has a good example to pose some problems to the visiting team of the day. Is Fredrikstad capable of repeating this in the middle of the week? Response at the end of 90 minutes. 

It wasn’t long ago that Bodø/Glimt lit up the pitch with their razor-sharp transitions and icy composure, and recent results reflect a team oscillating between commanding victories and unexpected setbacks. Their ability to dominate teams like Sandefjord and Brann with clean sheets and multi-goal wins shows a high ceiling, particularly when their pressing system clicks and the midfield finds vertical lanes. However, the double defeat to Sarpsborg 08 and drawn-out stalemates with Kristiansund hint at defensive vulnerabilities when pressured or stretched. That inconsistency could become a key tactical talking point against a newly assertive Fredrikstad side.

Fredrikstad, surging with momentum and a blend of tactical discipline and creative intent, will likely read the rhythm shifts in Bodø/Glimt’s performances with interest. They’ll know that when Bodø/Glimt dictate tempo early, they’re hard to break down—but equally, when disrupted, their control can fracture quickly. Exploiting transitional spaces and staying compact when out of possession could be Fredrikstad’s playbook. With emerging talents showing composure and veterans providing spine, this match looks

A narrow edge in form and firepower tips the scales in Bodø/Glimt’s favor as they head into their clash with Fredrikstad on July 16. While Fredrikstad has shown resilience at home, Bodø/Glimt’s sharper attacking rhythm and ability to capitalize on defensive lapses suggest they’ll find the net twice, edging past their hosts 2–1. The prediction leans on Bodø/Glimt’s recent ability to bounce back from setbacks with clinical finishes, while Fredrikstad’s spirited play earns them a goal but not the result.
