Our prediction for this Europa League match:
Bodo Glimt
Match Time & Date:
12/12/2024
21:00
Prediction: 2-1
Besiktas
Bodo play host to Besiktas at their Aspmyra Stadion in the Europa League round 6. The Yellow-Blacks are brimming with confidence after clinching their fourth Eliteserien trophy and we are positive that their stadium will be packed on Thursday evening. The likes of Bassi, Burakovsky, Skeide, and Vetti have been struggling with injuries of late, speaking of the home side.
The Turks, on the other hand, failed to impress in a 3-1 loss to Maccabi Tel Aviv in their last Europa League game. As Bodo are a real force to be reckoned with on their artificial grass, we predict that the visitors are going to return to Istanbul empty-handed. Defender Gabriel Paulista remains in the recovery room, while fellow defender Arthur Masuaku serves a one-game ban for the visiting team. It has to be noted that Bodo defeated Besiktas 3-1 in their last meeting at the venue.
