Both sides enter the match with contrasting recent form – Brann sit on a mixed WWDLL run while Bodo/Glimt have rolled unbeaten in their last four. The disparity in recent results sets up a clear expectation of attacking intent from the visitors.

Lars's Verdict

Strong
Both teams to score - Yes Won Strong lean Strong · High BTTS probability

The model assigns a 73.2% chance that both sides will score, driven by Brann’s 1.5 goals‑against average at home and Glimt’s 2.1 expected goals away.

Show the maths
The model’s BTTS probability of 73.2% stems from the gap between Brann’s defensive concession (1.5 per home game) and Glimt’s attacking output (2.1 expected goals away). Brann’s recent 0‑2 loss at Start and 1‑2 loss at Lillestrom show they can be breached, while Glimt’s four‑game winning streak, including a 4‑2 win over Rosenborg, underlines their capacity to score. Combining these figures yields a clear statistical edge for both teams finding the net.
Pick 2 · Both Teams to Score
Both Teams to Score — Yes Won 73.2% model probability

With Brann averaging 1.8 expected goals and Bodo/Glimt averaging 2.1, the model gives a 73.2% chance both teams find the net, ahead of the 26.8% it gives to at least one side being kept out.

Show the maths
BTTS probability is derived from each side's expected goals (Brann 1.8, Bodo/Glimt 2.1) run through the same Poisson goal-expectancy model used for the match result: 73.2% of simulated outcomes have both teams scoring at least once, versus 26.8% where at least one side is shut out.
Pick 3 · Total Goals
Over 2.5 Goals Won 74.6% model probability

Combined expected goals of 3.9 (Brann 1.8 + Bodo/Glimt 2.1) points to an open game, with the model giving Over 2.5 Goals a 74.6% chance against 25.4% for Under.

Show the maths
Total goals probability comes from the same Poisson model summing both teams' expected goals (Brann 1.8 + Bodo/Glimt 2.1 = 3.9 combined): 74.6% of simulated outcomes finish with 3 or more goals, versus 25.4% finishing with 2 or fewer.
Match Result Model

Our Poisson model, built from each side's real season scoring and conceding rates, has Brann at 33.8%, the draw at 20.8%, and Bodo/Glimt at 45.4% to win.

Most Likely Scoreline

The single most likely scoreline in our model is 1-2 at 8.0% — treat any single scoreline price with caution given how spread out the probability distribution is across a low-scoring match.

Form Guide — Last 5

Brann

WWDLL

Brann’s last five league outings include a 3‑2 home win over Rosenborg and a 3‑0 home victory against Ham‑Kam, demonstrating they can score but also a 1‑2 home loss to Lillestrom and a 0‑2 away defeat at Start, highlighting defensive frailties. The mix of high‑scoring wins and recent conceding suggests they will be vulnerable to Glimt’s attack, supporting the BTTS pick.

Bodo/Glimt

WWWW

Bodo/Glimt have not dropped points in their last four matches, with a 2‑1 away win at Valerenga and a 4‑2 home triumph over Rosenborg confirming their ability to both score and keep clean sheets. Their 1‑0 home win over Sandefjord adds to a pattern of tight defense, meaning they are likely to score while limiting Brann’s chances, reinforcing the BTTS outlook.

Head-to-Head

Recent head‑to‑head meetings favor Glimt, including a 3‑1 win on 24 May and a 2‑2 draw on 9 May, showing they can both score and concede against Brann, which backs the both‑teams‑to‑score proposition.
