Atletico Madrid vs Bodo/Glimt prediction
Bodo/Glimt have been plucky throughout this tournament and had previously bloodied the nose of the likes of Borussia Dortmund and Tottenham Hotspur ahead of that win against City. Atletico Madrid will remain firm favourites for this one, especially with their home advantage, but it could be quite a fun watch for the neutral in which Bodo are effective on the counter-attack in the Spanish capital city.
