Bodo/Glimt vs Union St. Gilloise
📖 The Preview
After that mad 3-3 first leg, everything is level going into this one, but Bodo/Glimt look the stronger bet to go through on home soil. Their recent form is exceptional, barely putting a foot wrong across their last ten games, and that home advantage in Norway is a real factor. Union St. Gilloise will nick one, as both teams finding the net looks nailed on after that first leg, but Bodo/Glimt's extra quality and crowd behind them should see them through 3-1 on the night.
