Prediction KFUM vs Bodø / Glimt 2025 – Betting Tips for the Eliteserien on 21/11/2025

Match preview: David vs Goliath in Oslo's cold finish

KFUM welcome Bodø / Glimt to KFUM Arena on 21/11/2025 in what shapes up as one of the clearest mismatches remaining in the Eliteserien regular season. The Oslo side sit 10th with a stubborn run of draws — eleven in 28 matches — and a conservative goal return that has produced plenty of 1-1 outcomes at home. Bodø / Glimt, meanwhile, are firmly installed in second place and bring a devastating attacking record to Ekebergveien: 78 goals in 28 games and a season pattern that leans heavily toward high-scoring affairs. The head-to-head earlier this year already saw Glimt dismantle KFUM 3-0 in April, and the recent form lines reinforce that script — Bodø / Glimt arriving fresh off a 5-0 rout of Bryne, while KFUM have alternated draws and defeats in recent weeks.

Tactical edge and statistical narrative

This fixture is about contrasts. KFUM’s defensive numbers at home are decent in isolation — 25 goals scored and 20 conceded at the KFUM Arena — but their propensity to draw (11 draws) shows a team that struggles to press home advantage and can be undone when faced with relentless attacking pressure. Bodø / Glimt bring a high-volume shooting game (510 total shots across the season, 18.21 per match) and a clinical edge that has yielded an enviable goal differential. They also boast 12 clean sheets, suggesting they can both score freely and close out wins. KFUM’s BTTS home percentage of 58.82% and Glimt’s strong away BTTS of 62.5% hint that goals at both ends are very possible, yet Bodø / Glimt’s defensive discipline — just 27 conceded league-wide — gives them the final say in most games.

The referee appointment of Mohammad Usman Aslam adds a neutral, professional coating to this clash, and the intimate 1,500-capacity arena promises a heavyweight atmosphere for a true Eliteserien scalp — if KFUM can manage it.

Betting context and what to watch

Bookmakers have made their call: Glimt are heavy favorites at 1.40 in the 1X2 market, reflecting a 71.43% implied probability. That price is unsurprising; the numbers back it up. For bettors looking to refine their approach rather than simply back the obvious, consider value in markets that play to Glimt’s strengths and KFUM’s draw-inclined tendencies.

Final thoughts: Bodø / Glimt bring superior firepower, consistency and recent momentum. KFUM’s ability to draw games at home makes a narrow scoreline plausible, but the gulf in season-long performance points overwhelmingly toward an away victory.
