Best Tip: Bodø to win

A Champions League victory in front of their own fans for Kjetil Knutsen's Bodø side win in the win / draw / win market is our prediction. Statistics suggest that their form is good coming into the match, and they should have too much for their visitors. The odds from the bookies suggest so too, and when that happens you've know you're not going against the market. A Bodø win is the way to go, but we wouldn't expect a whitewash.

Goal Statistics

Bodø/Glimt's forwards have been in fine form of late, scoring 2 goals or more in 4 consecutive Champions League games. A PG of 2.5 suggests that run should continue on Tuesday night.

Bodø/Glimt's defensive record is very strong, K. Knutsen's men having conceded 1 or less in 6 consecutive Champions League matches. An underwhelming PG rating of 1.3 for NEC Nijmegen makes sense in this context.
