H2H Stats Matches and Previous Teams Results
Atletico Madrid Team Overview
Atletico, who recently drew 1-1 with Galatasaray in Turkey, currently hold 13 points. However, due to their goal difference of 16-13, the Madrid side sits only 12th in the standings. Yes, Diego Simeone's squad still have a chance to advance directly to the Round of 16. But for that to happen, they need a significant win against the Norwegians and must hope for slip-ups from several higher-ranked competitors.
In La Liga, Atletico are performing quite well. The "Colchoneros" are in third place, with 44 points after 21 matches. Only Barcelona (52) and Real Madrid (51) are ahead of them. Notably, in their last 10 matches across all competitions, Simeone's team have suffered just one defeat-falling to Real Madrid 2-1 in the Spanish Super Cup semi-final earlier this year.

Bodo/Glimt Team Overview
Bodø/Glimt climbed to 28th place in the standings after their victory over an English club in the last match. They have scored 12 goals and conceded 14 in this season's Champions League. Kjetil Knutsen's side has accumulated six points from seven rounds. Their chances of breaking into the top 24 remain, but they are slim. They not only need to beat Atletico but also rely on slip-ups from their competitors.
As for their domestic performance in Norway, Bodø/Glimt's season concluded back in November last year. The "Yellow-Blacks" failed to claim the gold medals for the first time since 2022. They collected eight more points than in the previous Eliteserien campaign, yet still lost the title race to Viking.

Latest news
Atletico Madrid
Atletico Madrid's head coach Diego Simeone:
"In the first half against Galatasaray, we witnessed an impressive display. We created chances and were constantly on the attack, but we didn't capitalize on some opportunities as we should have. We took the lead, and they equalized when we could have secured the win. In the second half, they played with a five-man defense and felt more comfortable. They also had their chances and could have won, especially after that last shot which Marcos Llorente saved. I think we played brilliantly. We could have won, but the key to success is clinical finishing, and I hope we can get back to that. Now, much is out of our hands. But we'll strive to break into the top 8. We'll give it our all."
In the upcoming Champions League fixture, Atletico will be without Antoine Griezmann due to a muscle injury.
Bodo/Glimt
Bodø/Glimt head coach Kjetil Knutsen:
“We played very well against City. We understood that we were facing a world-class team. First and foremost, we had to be strong defensively. We couldn't allow any open spaces in the middle. All 11 players needed to stay compact. We managed to win the ball in favorable positions and launch counterattacks. Now we need to overcome Atletico. It's a tough challenge, but the team has shown that they are capable of achieving great things.”
Bodø/Glimt have only one absence in their squad. Defender Haitam Aleesami is sidelined due to injury.
⚽ Goal Prediction
Let's take a closer look at the scoring prowess of both teams. At least three goals have been scored in 6 of Atlético's last 7 matches, as well as in 11 of Bodø/Glimt's last 12 games. Given both clubs' offensive performances in the current Champions League campaign, we can reasonably expect a high-scoring affair. Opt for a bet on the total over 2.5 goals.
🚩 Corner Prediction
Note that Atlético have delivered more than 6.5 corners at home in 7 of their last 8 matches. Meanwhile, Bodø/Glimt have managed over 3.5 corners in 8 of their last 9 Champions League games. Considering both teams' attacking intent this season in the UCL, a bet on total corners over 9.5 in their head-to-head clash seems well-founded.
Editorial Prediction
Atlético are showcasing impressive attacking prowess at home, scoring in 19 consecutive official matches. Bodø/Glimt respond with their own remarkable consistency, finding the net in 35 of their last 36 games. The Norwegian side's aggressive style combined with Atlético's home advantage almost guarantees scoring opportunities at both ends of the pitch. Based on this scoring data, a bet on both teams to score seems a reasonable choice. A possible scoreline could be 3-1.
