Bodo/Glimt take on the visitors Klaksvik in the first leg of round of 16 in UEFA Champions League qualification. The match will be played on Wednesday, July 6th at Aspmyra Stadion (Bodø).
Bodo/Glimt was founded in 1916. But only in recent years it has been possible to reach the peak. Back in 2017, he played in the 2nd division of the country. A couple of years later, he already took silver, the first in a decade and a half. Moreover, in 2020, the “yellow horde” won the 1st championship in history. And then they were able to defend the title. Now it is more difficult for the favorite, they started the new draw rather hard. But there was a reason for that: the Norwegians were unexpectedly successful in European competition. Yes, it was the newly formed Conference League. But in it, the Scandinavians were not just able to get out of the group, which would already be a huge achievement for Haykin and company. They were in the playoffs, having no real game practice, knocked out Celtic in February, and AZ in March. Moreover, we were able to beat Roma in the quarterfinals in the first match. But at home, the future title holder defeated the daring underdog 4-0. Well, now a new cycle begins for the team, with an attempt to go as far as possible in the Champions League.

Klaksvik are constantly among the best in their native Faroe Islands. In 2021, after a one-year pause, they became the champion. And this is the 19th such trophy for the Blue and White. Most likely, even now the wards of Michel Thomassen will not give the “gold” to anyone, having issued the jubilee title by the fall. They have a comfortable lead over Vikingur Gota, while all the other teams were simply hopelessly behind by the middle of the summer. Football players practically do not lose points and show statistics that are close to ideal. It's time to start in European competition. There are no particular successes, but still the first opponent, as a rule, "Klaksvik" passes. True, a year ago, the start in the Conference League was a failure. Having won against the Latvian RFS on the road 3-2, then the Faroese lost at home with the same score in regular time. And in the added ball Sharica designed the final comeback of the Balts.
Despite the relative "affinity" of the countries, before that there was not even a single friendly match between the Faroese and the Norwegians. Bookmakers are confident in a very easy victory for Bodo/Glimt. He gradually gained momentum, and is unlikely to notice the first opponent in the Champions League. We bet on the hosts with a handicap of "-2.5 goals".
Prediction for the match: Bodo/Glimt to win with -2.5 handicap.
