Bodø/Glimt is preparing for an exciting Eliteserien clash against Start on April 30, 2026. Following an important away victory against Lillestrøm last weekend, morale is high within the Bodø/Glimt camp. This win, where they scored late in the first and early in the second half, completely ruined Lillestrøm's game plan and provided Glimt with a significant boost ahead of upcoming fixtures.

On the opposite side, Start is coming off a 2:1 away defeat to HamKam last Sunday. Despite taking the lead in the 47th minute via Schulze, they couldn't hold on as HamKam overran them in the final twenty minutes of the match. This result highlights the challenges Start faces, especially when playing away from home.

Ahead of this encounter, Bodø/Glimt will be without midfielders Saltnes (1/0) and Riisnaes. Start also has its challenges with goalkeeper Torkildsen and midfielder Mvoue (1/0) sidelined. Furthermore, defenders Norheim (4/0), Tonnesen (5/0), and Ujkani are doubtful, which could significantly weaken Start's defensive stability.

A victory for Bodø/Glimt seems to be hardly in question here, while Start knows that staying passive will yield no results. All signs point to a high-scoring game, with the hosts alone capable of scoring four or more goals. Bodø/Glimt has demonstrated a strong attacking profile at home, supported by an xG of 3.75.

With a combined expected goals (xG) of 4.62 (Bodø/Glimt 3.75 at home, Start 0.87 away), the attacking xG strongly leans towards many goals. Our betting tips include '1 & Over 3.5 Goals' (Stake: 8) and 'Over 2.5 Goals' (odds: 1.20), with a clear favorite in 'Home Win' (odds: 1.07).

Interestingly, four of Bodø/Glimt's last five Eliteserien matches ended with only one team scoring (BTTS NO, odds: 1.80). Conversely, five of Start's last six Eliteserien matches have seen both teams score (BTTS, odds: 1.95). This presents an intriguing dilemma for those considering bets on both teams to score.
