Rosenborg 2-2 Bodø / Glimt result, stats and report

Fredrikstad controlled the majority of this Eliteserien clash but could not hold their lead, as Bodø / Glimt showed exactly why they are the team to beat with a cool second-half equaliser from Bryan Fiabema.

Bodø/Glimt were utterly dominant from first whistle to last, controlling 80 percent of possession and scoring twice in first-half stoppage time to put this Champions League tie beyond doubt before the break. NEC Nijmegen arrived already depleted by injuries and left with a red card too, making a difficult evening impossible.

Bodø/Glimt were clinical where it mattered most, taking all three points from De Goffert despite NEC Nijmegen enjoying significant territorial advantage throughout the ninety minutes. The Norwegian side's composure in front of goal told the real story.

Bayern München have not kept a clean sheet in their last four Champions League matches and Bodø/Glimt arrive in Munich on the back of three straight wins.

Bodø / Glimt host Sandefjord on Sunday sitting top of the Eliteserien with one of the most commanding home records in the division. Sandefjord arrive having lost four of their last five away games and conceded nine times in the process.

Rosenborg host third-placed Tromsø on Saturday carrying a significant injury burden, but their recent home form suggests this could be exactly the kind of fixture they need right now. The numbers tell a complicated story for both sides.

Rosenborg host a HamKam side that has taken just one win from their last five away fixtures, and the underlying numbers suggest the gap between these two seventh and tenth-placed sides is considerably larger than the table implies.

Bodø/Glimt arrive at Fredrikstad Stadion on Friday evening as runaway Eliteserien leaders with a goal difference that reads more like a statement of intent than a set of statistics. Fredrikstad will need every ounce of their home strength to slow down the most potent attacking force in Norwegian football.
