As the Norwegian spring begins to thaw, the Eliteserien is heating up. Bodø/Glimt's relentless high-press and verticality once again proved too much for their opposition this weekend. "We play with an intensity that we expect ourselves to maintain for 90 minutes," said a key midfielder after their 4-1 victory.
Tactically, the league is witnessing a shift towards high-line defending. However, Bodø/Glimt's use of 'inverted wingers' who drop into the half-spaces to create overloads has consistently exploited this. Molde and Viking remain in pursuit, but the gap in technical execution was evident in the latest round of fixtures.
