It is quite clear that Bodø/Glimt are not tired anymore after the effort in the Europa League. – The reigning Eliteserien champions are back on track for another league gold.
As of now, they are only in 5th place, a full 7 points behind leaders Viking, but now Bodø/Glimt have only played 6 games while everyone else has played more. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, who has been tasked with working by Besiktas, wants not one, but two Bodø/Glimt players. According to Fanatik, both Patrick Berg and the Dane who opened the ball are Kasper Høgh on the Turkish big club’s summer lists.

Rosenborg came undefeated to Bodø for Saturday’s match against Glimt, but was overrun by the league champion. A peeling 4-0 loss put a brutal end to the Trønders’ good series.

After four straight defeats across competitions – including a humiliating defeat against arch-rivals Tromsø in the last league round – Glimt delivered a masterful effort against Rosenborg.
Kasper Høgh’s early opening goal (four minutes) and Ole Didrik Blomberg’s double (his first two goals for Glimt) sent the home team into half-time with a comfortable 3-0 lead.
In the second half, Ulrik Saltnes put an end to the game with a powerful long shot.
- I said that I always score against Rosenborg, and today it came true again. That’s what’s fun – crushing Rosenborg, Blomberg grinned to TV 2 after the game.
Rosenborg is in 2nd place with 18 points after 9 games. They will have an immediate opportunity for revenge away against Fredrikstad on Wednesday.
Bodø/Glimt are on 13 points, but have three games less played due to Europa League commitment. The next challenge will be a home game against league leader Viking, who top with 20 points.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, on the other hand, has an important home game at the Tüpraş Stadyumu later today, Sunday, against Rizespor.
