Bodo/Glimt vs Twente Prediction 20 February 2025
πCan Twente hold onto the advantage gained in the first game? During the group stage of the Europa League, Bodo/Glimt showcased an impressive performance, and only one absurd conceded goal prevented the team from securing a spot in the top 8. Undoubtedly, under such circumstances, failing to reach the Round of 16 would be considered a failure for the Norwegian team. We recommend checking out our prediction before placing a bet on the match, which will take place at "Aspmyra".
Head-to-Head
The game that took place last week was the first in history between these teams. Overall, both teams looked quite good, but Twente attacked much more sharply and deservedly won with a score of 2-1. It was only by sheer luck that BodΓΈ/Glimt avoided a larger defeat.
Head-to-head statistics Bodo/Glimt - Twente

Bodoe/Glimt Team Overview
BodΓΈ/Glimt had every chance to qualify directly for the round of 16 of the Europa League playoffs. The team simply needed to defeat Nice in the final round of the group stage. However, they failed to achieve the desired result (1-1), conceding a goal in the 74th minute. Now, the Norwegian club is "reaping the consequences." After losing to Twente in the first game (1-2), BodΓΈ/Glimt finds themselves as the underdogs in this two-legged tie. If it weren't for Nikita Haikin's excellent goal-line performance (5 saves), Kjetil Knutsen's team would already be on the ropes, much like Galatasaray (1-4). As for the upcoming encounter, the coaching staff will be without 4 players, but these losses are not considered significant (there are no recent injuries).
Match Results: Bodoe/Glimt

FC Twente Enschede Team Overview
Twente is in excellent form. The team managed to produce a remarkable stretch of 6 matches without a defeat, and in most cases, they ended the games as winners (4 times). After the first encounter with Bodo/Glimt (2-1), the Dutch club managed to face Waalwijk and also did not experience major problems (2-0). The main advantage of Twente over the Norwegian team is that the "Tukkers" are in match rhythm. Since the Dutch championship operates on a "fall-spring" system, the team does not need to conduct friendly matches that do not provide real benefits. Regarding the upcoming match, the coaching staff will not be able to count on Younes Taha, who broke his leg at the beginning of the season.

β½οΈ Goal Prediction
BodΓΈ/Glimt is a very high-scoring team. Last season, Kjetil Knutsen's squad scored 71 goals against their opponents - the best record in the Norwegian championship, with a decent margin. In the group stage of the Europa League, the Norwegian team scored 14 goals, 9 of which came in home matches. The country's northern location significantly affects the level of play of its opponents. In this situation, one could consider the option of a total goals for BodΓΈ/Glimt over 1.5.
π© Corner Prediction
Total corners for BodΓΈ/Glimt over 4.5 is another reliable betting option. The team is not afraid to play from a position of strength, especially at their home stadium. It's no surprise that with this style of football, the Norwegian club often approaches the corner flag. In the last 20 matches, Kjetil Knutsen's team averaged 5.7 set pieces near the opponent's goal. Considering that BodΓΈ/Glimt needs to come back in the score, this corner mark should be surpassed without any issues.
Editorial Prediction
Bookmakers consider Bodo/Glimt the favorite for this particular match, and our editorial team agrees with their opinion. Firstly, the Norwegian club has set a very high standard in the current Europa League campaign. Kjetil Knutsen's team finished the group stage in ninth place, collecting 14 points. The team was especially strong at home, where they managed to defeat serious opponents like Besiktas (2-1) and Porto (3-2). And this doesn't even include the Champions League qualification, where they overcame Crvena Zvezda (2-1) and Jagiellonia (4-1). There is no doubt that Twente will also face a tough challenge in the upcoming match, especially considering they will have to switch from natural grass fields in the Netherlands to artificial turf in Norway. Therefore, our betting option is a Bodo/Glimt victory in regular time. We believe that after 90 minutes, the scoreboard will show a score of 3-1.
