Olympiacos vs Bodo Glimt Prediction 13 March 2025
🔊 What are the chances of Olympiacos making a comeback and advancing to the Europa League quarterfinals? In the matchup with Bodo/Glimt, the Greek team was initially considered the clear favorite, but their lack of experience playing on artificial turf led to a crushing defeat in the first game (0-3). However, the "red-whites," who are in excellent form and recently thrashed AEK (6-0), will clearly not give up the spot to the Norwegians without a fight. In this situation, we will try to analyze all the details to provide you with an accurate prediction for the match that will take place at "Karaiskakis."
Head-to-Head
The game that took place on March 6 was the first in history between these teams. Despite the fact that in that match the bookmakers could not identify a clear favorite, Bodø/Glimt played much sharper, showed high conversion rates, and crushed their opponent (3-0).
Head-to-head statistics Olympiacos - Bodo Glimt
Olympiacos Team Overview
Olympiacos has performed quite successfully in recent matches. The team has secured 5 wins in 6 games, managing to defeat PAOK (2-1) and AEK (6-0 and 1-0) during this period. Last weekend, the Greek team overcame OFI (1-0) in an economical mode, earning another 3 points and strengthening its position in the standings. The gap from the nearest pursuer is 7 points, and the club is very likely to become the national champion. The only unsatisfactory result was recorded in the first meeting with Bodo/Glimt (0-3). Like the Norwegians, the "red-whites" also managed to create several dangerous approaches to the opponent's goal, but due to problems with finishing, they couldn't get past Nikita Haikin. Regarding the return match, the coaching staff will not be able to count on 4 players, including the club's top scorer Ayoub El Kaabi (15+4), who remains in the infirmary.
Match Results: Olympiacos
Bodo/Glimt Team Overview
Although the new season of the Norwegian Championship has not yet started, the players of Bodo/Glimt are in excellent physical shape. The team is playing quality football, creating many dangerous moments at the opponent's goal, and most importantly, scoring a lot. The match against Olympiacos (3-0) followed a similar scenario to the second leg against Twente (5-2). Despite many statistical indicators being roughly equal between the teams, the Norwegians looked much more interesting in attack, which allowed them to secure a comfortable advantage before the return leg. Regarding the upcoming encounter, the participation of 5 players is in doubt, including Sondre Fet, who was substituted due to injury in the middle of the first half of the previous game.

⚽️ Goals Prediction
The upcoming game is expected to be equally high-scoring. Overall, the first match (3-0 in favor of Bodo/Glimt) was end-to-end, with both teams creating numerous dangerous moments, and only poor finishing prevented Olympiacos from delighting their fans with a goal. In the return leg, the Greek club will be forced to open up even more, creating ideal conditions for Bodo/Glimt, who are capable of executing fast counterattacks effectively. Therefore, we are betting on a total goals over 2.5.
🚩 Corners Prediction
Total corners for Olympiacos over 5.5 is another reliable betting option for the upcoming encounter. Firstly, the Greek club does not face significant issues in earning set pieces near the opponent's goal. The "Red and Whites" approach the corner flag an average of 5.5 times per game and are among the leaders in this statistical parameter in their championship. Secondly, in the upcoming match, the initiative should come from Olympiacos. This team from Piraeus needs to overcome a 3-goal deficit. The entire stadium will be supporting them. Considering that in the first game, Jose Luis Mendilibar's team took 7 corners, this bet should come through without any issues.
Editorial Prediction
According to the bookmakers, Olympiacos is the clear favorite for the upcoming match, and it's quite difficult to argue with that in this situation. Firstly, any team that travels to Greece faces challenges. The unique atmosphere in the stands and the pressure from the fans prevent them from unleashing their full potential. Both Qarabag and Braga experienced this, suffering defeats in Piraeus with the same score of 0-3. Secondly, José Luis Mendilibar's squad is in excellent form, especially recently. They even managed to thrash a direct competitor in the championship race by a margin of 6 goals (6-0 against AEK). Therefore, our main betting option will be an Olympiacos victory. However, we do not believe in a complete comeback. The match will likely end with a score of 3-1.
