Best Bet

Bodo/Glimt are clear favourites on paper, but European commitments may see them manage intensity. Rosenborg have excellent recent form, solid defensive organisation, and a track record of competitive displays against the league leaders. The visitors' ability to stay compact makes a comfortable home win unlikely. Rosenborg's handicap at +1.5 represents good value given their defensive resilience and recent momentum.
