Lille vs Bodo/Glimt Prediction, Odds, Best Bets - Champions League

Lille travel to Aspmyra Stadion on Tuesday still without a point in the Champions League, facing a Bodo/Glimt side that has already beaten Borussia Dortmund on this ground and needs a win of its own to climb back toward the playoff places.

The Matchup

Bodo/Glimt sit 28th in the league-phase table with three points from three matches, seven places and three points ahead of Lille in 35th, who are still without a point. Bodo lost 5-0 at Bayern Munich, beat Borussia Dortmund 1-0 at Aspmyra, and lost 4-3 at Napoli, so their home game was the tightest and their away games were anything but. Lille lost 3-2 at home to Real Betis, lost 3-0 at Arsenal, and lost 4-2 at home to Galatasaray, conceding ten goals across the three matches.

The scoring load for Bodo is shared, which is the point. Fredrik Sjovold scored the winner against Dortmund, and at Napoli the goals came from Jens Petter Hauge, Andreas Helmersen, and Sondre Brunstad Fet, all three of whom started that match in the 4-4-2 Bodo are expected to use again, with Patrick Berg in midfield.

Lille's most dangerous player is Soriba Diaoune, who scored twice against Galatasaray and is expected to start again in the 4-3-3 Lille used in that match, with Alexsandro behind him after scoring against Betis. Neither club has named its side yet, and neither has a player ruled out in the team news available for this match.

Key Factors

Aspmyra is doing real work for Bodo. Their one win in this competition came there, against Dortmund, and they followed it by scoring three at Napoli, while Lille lost their only away match in this competition 3-0 at Arsenal and have conceded three at home to Betis and four at home to Galatasaray. Lille did win 1-0 at home to Lens in the league last week, so they do not arrive in free fall, but a league clean sheet is not the same as fixing a defence that has conceded ten in Europe.

The case against is that Bodo concede almost as freely as they score. They shipped five at Bayern and four at Napoli, and Diaoune showed against Galatasaray that Lille can hurt a side that leaves space. If Lille score first, the long trip north suddenly looks a lot shorter, and Bodo will have to chase a game they are built to control.
