Bodø/Glimt will continue their desired ascent to the top when they face a struggling IK Start in Matchday 7 of the new Eliteserien season. Glimt are now winless in five of their last six encounters with IK Start, but have now been handed a golden opportunity as the visitors remain winless this season. See our Bodø/Glimt vs Start match prediction below.
After a shaky start to the season that involved a win, a draw, and a loss, Bodø have now won their last two league games, beating Aalesund 3-0 and Lillestrom 2-0. That run puts Gleam in 5th place with 10 points. Yet, they have two games in hand that could bag them 16 points, which is just three fewer than league leaders Tromso.
They’ll be looking to keep the momentum going, and only have a winless Start to beat in the next game. However, even with IK’s much weaker side, they’ve been a thorn in Bodø’s side, losing only one competitive game (outside friendly) to Gleam since 2017. In fact, IK Start won three of those games.
But the last time they played was in 2020. Six years later, they’ll be facing a Gleam side that beat Man City, Atletico Madrid, and Inter Milan all this year. After three losses in their four away games, it’s hard to see how Start keeps history going on Thursday.

Our Bodoe/Glimt vs Start Prediction
Our money is on Bodø/Glimt for the win, but the odds are quite small at 1.13. What’s a more practical bet is betting on at least one clean sheet (likely from IK Start) in this game. It’s been six years since they last met, so Start’s H2H dominance doesn’t hold much water here.
What’s important to look at are both teams' scoring and goal-prevention stats. While there has been a clean sheet in four of Gleam’s five games so far, their opponents have the 3rd-worst scoring record. Hence, our Bodø/Glimt vs Start prediction is BTTS: No.
