Bodø/Glimt aims to continue their dominant home form against a struggling Start side on April 30, 2026, at Aspmyra Stadion in Bodø. The team recently secured a resounding 5:0 victory against Lillestrom, showcasing their attacking prowess.
Bodø/Glimt has an expected goals (xG) rating of 3.75 at home, indicating their ability to create and convert chances. In contrast, Start is reeling from a 2:1 loss to HamKam, which adds pressure as they prepare for this challenging match.
The absence of key players will affect both teams. Midfielders Saltnes and Riisnaes are out for Bodø/Glimt, while goalkeeper Torkildsen and midfielder Mvoue are sidelined for Start. Additionally, defenders Norheim, Tonnesen, and Ujkani are doubtful for Start.
Bodø/Glimt’s recent home matches reflect their scoring capabilities:
- A 5:0 win against Fredrikstad
- A 4:1 win over Molde
- A 3:0 victory against Aalesund
Meanwhile, Start has struggled defensively, with both teams scoring in five of their last six matches. Schulze managed to score one goal for Start in their recent matches, but it hasn’t been enough to secure consistent results.
If teams finish on equal points in the Eliteserien standings, goal difference will serve as the tie-breaker—a crucial factor for both clubs as they aim for favorable positions.
The stakes are high as Bodø/Glimt seeks to maintain its impressive record at home while Start fights to regain form. Fans can expect an exciting match filled with intensity and determination from both sides.
