Bodø/Glimt prepares to host Start at Aspmyra on Thursday, April 30, 2026, following a crucial away victory against Lillestrøm last weekend. The club aims to maintain its strong momentum in the Eliteserien, and fans expect another dominant performance from Glimt.

After securing three points with late goals in the first half and early in the second half against Lillestrøm, morale is high within the Bodø/Glimt camp. Despite midfield absences, with Saltnes and Riisnaes still unavailable, the team is determined to continue its impressive run of form.

The visitors from Start travel to Bodø after a 2-1 defeat against HamKam last Sunday. Although Schulze gave Start the lead in the 47th minute, they were unable to withstand a late surge. The team also faces a depleted squad, with goalkeeper Torkildsen and midfielder Mvoue confirmed out. Defenders such as Norheim, Tonnesen, and Ujkani are all listed as doubtful.

Statistical data from recent matches indicates a high probability of scoring opportunities for the home side. Bodø/Glimt maintains a significant attacking expected goals (xG) profile at home, measuring 3.75, compared to Start's 0.87 away rating.

Glimt has demonstrated dominant home form with 5-0 victories over Fredrikstad and Bryne, alongside a 4-1 win against Molde. Start, conversely, has struggled on the road, suffering losses to Lillestrøm and KFUM while managing a draw against Sarpsborg 08. This highlights Glimt's strong position heading into the fixture.

The detailed xG data confirms Glimt's offensive strength, with figures like 3.94 against Aalesund and 3.85 against Bryne. With league regulations stipulating goal difference as the primary tie-breaker, a strong victory will be crucial for Bodø/Glimt in their pursuit of the Eliteserien title.
