Bodo/Glimt v Union Saint-Gilloise Prediction: 15/8 for Bodo to bag entertaining win

After last Tuesday's 3-3 draw in Oostende, Bodo/Glimt and Union Saint-Gilloise do it all again seven days later in the second leg of their UEFA Champions League third qualifying round tie.

Bodo beat Valerenga 2-1 in the Eliteserien on Saturday, while USG backed up their penalty shootout success over Club Brugge in the Belgian Super Cup by battering Westerlo 5-1 in their Jupiler League opener.

The Norwegian club reached last season's UEFA Champions League round of 16, beating Manchester City, Inter and Sporting CP at home.

Kjetil Knutsen's side can produce another big performance at Aspmyra Stadion, with the winner facing a seemingly favourable tie against either NEC or Olympiakos.

Alternative Bet - Over 3.5 goals @ 11/10

Bodo/Glimt v Union Saint-Gilloise Prediction

Best Bet: Bodo/Gimt to win and both teams to score @ 15/8

Odin Bjortuft's late equaliser secured a draw for Bodo in Belgium, after Promise David had given USG a 3-2 lead on 88 minutes.

Bodo's weekend win at Valerenga made it six straight victories since the Eliteserien resumed and there is a clear desire to reclaim their domestic title after finishing second behind Viking in 2025.

However, UEFA Champions League football brings real cachet and they will be confident of finishing off this tie at home and will not be afraid of either NEC or Olympiakos.

USG won three out of eight games in last season's league phase, with two of those victories coming away from home, beating PSV 3-1 and Galatasaray 1-0.

However, the atmosphere and artificial playing surface in the Arctic Circle have proved problematic for better teams than Les Unionistes, with Bodo backed to edge an entertaining contest.

Alternative Bet: Over 3.5 goals @ 11/10

Last week's first leg can be a signpost for Tuesday's return game, with over 3.5 goals achievable, having landed in five of Bodo's seven home games in this competition last term.

It was repeated in USG's match on Saturday, while the Super Team's last outing in the Eliteserien was a 4-0 win against Lillestrom.

With this effectively a straight knockout tie, some teams may clam up, but these sides always look to attack, so expect more goals at the Aspmyra Stadion.

Bodo/Glimt v Union Saint-Gilloise Bet Builder Tip

  • Bodo/Glimt to score 2-4 goals

  • Raul Florucz to score anytime

  • Patrick Berg to score anytime

    Pays 17/1

Bodo have scored exactly three goals in their last three home UEFA Champions League games and backing them to score between two and four appeals as the basis for this Bet Builder.

Raul Florucz scored USG's first two goals last Tuesday and their second at Westerlo. With his side expected to get on the scoresheet, he is a viable candidate to net.

So is home captain Patrick Berg, who opened the scoring in Oostende and also assisted Bjortuft's equaliser and can record another goal on Tuesday.
