Nice vs Bodo Glimt Prediction 30 January 2025

🔊 Will Nice throw a wrench in the Norwegians' plans? In the 8th round of the UEFA Europa League group stage, Bodø/Glimt will visit the French team. This game holds no significance for the hosts as "Les Aiglons" have had a disappointing season in terms of international performance. However, the visitors still hope to break into the top 8 of the league stage, but to do so, they need to win on a tough away trip. Our editorial team evaluated the prospects of the Norwegians securing three points at the "Allianz Riviera" in this prediction.

📊 H2H

These clubs have never played against each other before.

🔴 Nice

Nice is performing well in the French championship, displaying very vibrant and effective play. It certainly pays off, as "Les Aiglons" currently occupy fourth place and have one of the best goal-scoring records in Ligue 1 (38 goals in 19 rounds). But in the Europa League, it's as if something changes, as their attacking potential instantly fades. Nice has only earned two points over seven rounds and scored just six goals. It's unlikely that the French club will seriously focus on the final round, as they no longer have prospects of advancing to the playoffs.

🟡 Bodø/Glimt

A couple of months ago, Bodø/Glimt managed to become champions of Norway after a rather intense battle. Now, the team has the opportunity to fully concentrate on their Europa League campaign, which they are doing quite successfully. Their advancement to the playoffs is already secure, and they even have a chance to break into the top eight leaders. Over seven rounds, Bodø/Glimt has accumulated 13 points, showcasing quality and beautiful football in almost every match.

⚽️ Goal Prediction

Bodø/Glimt exchanged goals with their opponents in six out of seven Europa League rounds. Nice, despite all their international challenges, can still boast excellent scoring ability, having scored in 16 of their last 17 games. Therefore, we advise betting on Both Teams to Score: Yes.

🚩 Corner Prediction

The average number of corners in matches involving Nice is steadily increasing and currently stands at 12.1. In four consecutive games, "Les Aiglons" have seen at least 11 corners per game, which is not often observed consistently. So here you can take a slight risk and play Total Corners Over 10.5.

📝 Match Prediction

Nice will not give up this game without a fight, but they won't offer significant resistance to the Norwegians either. "Les Aiglons" expended a lot of effort to secure a victory over Marseille (2:0) in a recent league match. Considering that this match holds no significance for them in terms of standings, we might easily see almost a second-string lineup from the hosts. And the visitors must seize this opportunity to sensationally break into the top 8 of the league stage or at least try to do so. We believe that Bodø/Glimt will achieve a 2:1 victory.

However, it's unlikely that Nice will leave the field without scoring. The French team scores with enviable regularity, including in the Europa League. And we shouldn't forget about the home-field advantage; after all, the fans will be urging their favorites forward despite the lack of tournament motivation. Therefore, as a key bet, we advise focusing on Both Teams to Score: Yes.
