Show the maths
Our Poisson model, built from each side's real season scoring and conceding rates, has Bodo/Glimt at 78.3%, the draw at 12.4%, and Sandefjord at 8.8% to win.
The single most likely scoreline in our model is 3-0 at 8.2% — treat any single scoreline price with caution given how spread out the probability distribution is across a low-scoring match.

Most likely scorelines
Model probabilities are derived from each team's real season goals-for and goals-against averages via a Poisson goal-expectancy model — not a fixed set of narrative numbers.
Form Guide — Last 5
Bodo/Glimt
Bodo/Glimt have won each of their last four league games, including a 4‑0 home victory over Lillestrom and a 4‑2 home thrashing of Rosenborg. Those emphatic wins demonstrate a potent attack and solid defence, reinforcing the expectation of another win here.
Sandefjord
Sandefjord have struggled, losing 0‑1 away at Fredrikstad and 0‑1 at home to KFUM Oslo before a 2‑1 away win over Sarpsborg 08 FF, followed by two draws (0‑0 vs Brann, 1‑1 vs Viking). The lack of scoring consistency and the recent draws suggest limited threat against a high‑scoring Glimt side.
Head-to-Head
In the last five meetings Glimt have won three times, most recently a 3‑0 away win on 26 July 2026 and a 2‑1 away win on 31 August 2025, showing a clear head‑to‑head edge that supports the win pick.
