Bodø / Glimt vs Besiktas Prediction

Bodø / Glimt are still in the race to secure an automatic passage through to the knockout stage with them currently 17th-place in the league phase table. Indeed, a win here would even take them above Besiktas in the table. But whilst conditions in Norway can be very tough for opponents, Bodø / Glimt know how to handle that and Besiktas will have to respond.

Besiktas’ two-match winning streak in the Europa League came to an end at the hands of Maccabi Tel Aviv last time out and a response is expected from Serdar Topraktepe’s side. Although Bodø / Glimt will fancy their chances of winning being at home, they face a club who boasts players such as Rafa Silva and Ciro Immobile in attack.

It’s hard not to see Besiktas finding the net at least once with those two in the fold, but Bodø / Glimt have every reason to be confident of causing the visiting backline some huge problems of their own. Therefore, back both teams to score regardless of the result.

Bodø / Glimt vs Besiktas Tip: Both teams to score
