Bodo/Glimt take on the visitors Linfieldin the second leg of UEFA Champions League qualification quarterfinals. First leg result: 0-1. The match will be played on Wednesday, July 27th at Aspmyra Stadion (Bodø).
Bodo/Glimt are coming into this fight with intention to cover the handicap. The "Yellow Fever" have certainly raised its reputation in recent years. There are also a couple of champion titles taken in the Norwegian Eliteserien in both 2020 and 2021. But it is worth noting that the Scandinavians made some noise in the international arena. In the season before last, they spoiled the nerves of Milan. And in the spring, they rewrote their European Cup history, having managed to reach the quarterfinals of the Conference League. This year hasn't been easy, though. Here and not the best results in the national championship. They had problems with overcoming Klaksvik in the last round of the league qualification (1-3 in the Faroe Islands after 3-0 at home). And now it all started with a defeat, albeit a minimal one.

Linfield is good in the domestic arena, but often toothless in the international. The Blues have been Northern Ireland champions a record 56 times. They have consistently finished in 1st place since 2019. But in the international arena, if you take out the quarter-finals of the European Champions Cup more than half a century ago, the team frankly does not do much. 1 opponent passed - it's already good, 2 - just a repeat of the maximum result in recent history. So it was now, when we managed to squeeze the result with The New Saints. Moreover, in Wales, Linfield lost minimally, and at home he was able to answer with his goal only in the 4th added minute. But in extra time, it was this team that scored the decisive goal. And last week, also at home, it turned out to beat Bodo/Glimt due to the only late goal by Millar. The visitors from Scandinavia simply did not have time to answer it.
On July 19, the clubs held the first match between themselves in history. Bodo/Glimt lost in Belfast illogically: they possessed the ball for about 60 percent of the playing time, took a lot of shots, including on target. So let's believe that at least the houses will break through: we recommend betting on "over 2.5 goals".
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 scored goals.
