Rosenborg host Bodo/Glimt in a Matchday 11 Eliteserien clash on Friday, May 29, 2026, with the two teams entering the game in very different moods. Rosenborg are under pressure near the bottom of the table, while Bodo/Glimt are chasing the league leaders and aiming to strengthen their title push.
Rosenborg’s start to the season has been disappointing. The 26-time Norwegian champions are sitting 15th with just 8 points after 10 matches, a position that reflects a poor run of results. They have lost three of their last four league games, including a 3-0 defeat away to Viking, a 2-3 home loss to Aalesund, and a 2-0 defeat on Monday at KFUM Oslo. Their only recent win came at home against Lilleström, where they recovered briefly with a 2-0 victory. The team has struggled to find consistency and has scored only 7 goals so far this season.
Bodo/Glimt arrive in stronger form and with much better momentum. After 10 league games, they are third in Eliteserien with 22 points, only two points behind Tromsø, who have played two more matches, and five points off the top. They also own the best defensive record in the league, having conceded just 9 goals. Since their only defeat of the season, a 1-0 loss to Molde, they have responded with three convincing wins: 5-0 against Tromsø, 4-1 at promoted Start, and 3-1 at home against Brann. Their recent performances underline both their attacking quality and defensive solidity.
In terms of squad news, Rosenborg have several absences. Adrian Pereira, Ole Selnaes, Elias Slordal, and Jonas Svensson all missed the previous trip to KFUM Oslo because of injury. Selnaes, who has two assists in the league, could return for this match, but Rosenborg still face concerns over depth. Their main attacking threat comes from Simen Nordli and Amin Chiakha, with the duo responsible for more than half of the club’s goals this season.
Bodo/Glimt also have some missing players, including Fredrik André Bjorkan, Berg, Jens Petter Hauge, and Sondre Fet. Even so, they still boast a strong and well-balanced squad. Kasper Hogh has produced 5 goals and 4 assists in the league, Hakon Evjen has 5 goals, Fredrik Sjovold has 3 goals and 2 assists, and Ole Blomberg has added 2 goals and 3 assists. Their attacking depth gives them a clear edge on paper.
The betting probabilities also favor Bodo/Glimt heavily, with a 69% chance of victory, compared to 23% for a draw and just 8% for a Rosenborg win. Bodo/Glimt are therefore expected to continue their pursuit of the top of the table and could record a fourth straight league win.
