This match preview covers our Bodo/Glimt vs Man City predictions, betting tips and best bet builder selections, using recent form, Champions League results, and key team trends to highlight where the value may lie for betting ahead of this midweek European fixture.
The Champions League returns this midweek, and it’s a trip to Norway for Man City to take on Bodo/Glimt, who are second in the Norwegian top flight.
Bodo have won 22 of 30 league matches this season and are only one point off the top of the league. In the Champions League, they’ve not won any of their six matches so far.
City are fourth in the Champions League with four wins, one draw and one defeat in the opening six. They’re also second in the Premier League, seven points behind Arsenal.

|---|---|---|

| Player Fouls | Patrick Berg over 1.5 | Defensive midfielder vs high‑possession team |
Bodo/Glimt vs Man City Champions League Prediction: Man City to Win
I think Man City will come out on top against Bodo on Tuesday evening. The Norwegian side are yet to win in the Champions League this season, and I don’t expect them to get anything from Pep Guardiola’s Man City side. City were beaten by their rivals Manchester United last time out, but have won six of their last 10, with that defeat their only loss since the end of November. I think they’ll win this one comfortably.
Bodo/Glimt vs Man City Betting Tip: Haaland to Score
Erling Haaland hasn’t scored in his last three in all competitions, which is a long time for a goalscorer like him. He will be desperate to get back amongst the goals, and I think he’ll do that on Tuesday. Haaland has already scored 26 goals in 30 appearances this season, including six goals in six Champions League matches, underlining his reliability in Europe. With City expected to dominate possession and create a high volume of chances, backing Haaland to score anytime at 1/2 looks a logical addition to this bet builder.
BEST BET BUILDER TIP – Rayan Cherki over 0.5 shots on target @ 4/7
Rayan Cherki has been an excellent signing for City, joining in the summer from Lyon, where he made 146 appearances in six years. This season, he has scored six goals in all competitions, with one in four in the Champions League. He has had 17 shots on target in 25 competitive appearances for City this season, an average well above 0.5 per game. I think he will have at least one shot on target here, and the odds of 4/7 make this a decent addition to our bet builder.
Patrick Berg Fouls Prediction vs Man City – Over 1.5
Patrick Berg is good odds to make over 1.5 fouls in this one. The Norway international has made 230 appearances for Bodo/Glimt across two spells, and his passion for the club, as their captain, is clear to see. He has made 26 fouls in 28 league matches and six in eight in the Champions League, so 32 in 40 across those competitions. Coming up against a strong City side, I think he will make a couple of fouls here, and for him to have two or more is likely in my eyes.
ALTERNATIVE BET – Patrick Berg to be booked @ TBC
The Bodo/Glimt captain has been carded five times in all competitions this season, with two in the league and three in the Champions League. If you fancy higher odds, taking him for a card is a good shout.
