Rosenborg may have the capability to score against the Bodo/Glimt defense, but it's likely that their goal(s) won't be sufficient to secure a victory. Bodo/Glimt have shown a strong offensive performance throughout the season, and while Rosenborg may find the back of the net, keeping pace with Bodo/Glimt's potent attack could be a challenging task.
