Bodo/Glimt vs Brann - Eliteserien

A fascinating Eliteserien chapter awaits on May 24, 2026 when Bodo/Glimt take on Brann at the home ground — two sides with plenty to play for and everything to prove. Michael Carrick's side are set to face Paris Saint-Germain in Sweden on Saturday afternoon with the aim of building on last weekend's win over Atletico Madrid.

A glance at the Eliteserien table tells the story: Bodo/Glimt in 1st and Brann in 8th, with positions to defend and places to climb. Confidence is coursing through the home camp, with LWWWD in their last five and a season win rate of 80% underscoring their momentum. The visitors have been picking up results steadily, LLDWW over their last five with a campaign win rate of 40%. Where Bodo/Glimt have built their campaign on solidity, Brann have often chased flair, and that fundamental difference should make for compelling viewing. Manchester City are nearing an agreement with Marseille for an experienced goalkeeper as they continue reshaping the position behind Gianluigi Donnarumma.

Tactically, the contest promises a fascinating contrast. Bodo/Glimt will look to impose their style on home soil, while Brann are likely to have ideas of their own about how to gain the upper hand. Moving the Dane on frees up space and gives the Partenopei greater room to press ahead with their incoming transfer plans.

All eyes will be on the league's leading marksman Amin Chiakha, whose 12 goals this season make him the standout threat and a player capable of deciding the outcome on his own. Whoever wins the individual duel between the two sides' chief playmakers is likely to dictate the rhythm and, ultimately, the destination of the points. Stuttering starts, goals in every match and plenty of excitement - the Scottish Premiership returned with a bang and there is more to look forward to this weekend.

With the sides closely matched, the outcome may well hinge on which team takes its chances on the day. Backed by home advantage and superior form, Bodo/Glimt ought to prevail — a 3-2 victory looks the logical call. Whatever the outcome, the Eliteserien fixture promises a meaningful contest with real implications for both clubs. Premier League chief executive Richard Masters says a verdict on the alleged charges against Manchester City "has taken longer than expected".
