No Previous Meetings
This is going to be the first head to head match between Bodo/Glimt and Lille.
Hosts in Need of Points
Bodo/Glimt are off to a rough start in the UEFA Champions League, collecting just three out of possible nine points so far.
After getting smashed by Bayern Munich 5-0 at Allianz Arena in the opening round, they defeated Borussia Dortmund 1-0 at home, while an open battle against Napoli in late October resulted in a 4-3 loss.
The Yellow Horde earned a huge victory in the Norwegian Eliteserien on Friday, beating Viking 3-2 at home to tie the title race with five rounds remaining.
French Side Struggling in the UCL
Lille are one out of three teams failing to collect a single point from the opening three rounds in the UEFA Champions League, scoring four and conceding ten goals.
They were ahead in the opening match against Betis at half-time, but lost the encounter 3-2, followed by two more defeats against Arsenal 3-0 and most recently Galatasaray 4-2.
Les Dogues are doing much better in the French top flight. After beating Lens 1-0 at home on Friday (Olivier Giroud on target in the 86th minute) they moved up to second place with 18 points after nine rounds.

Verdict
Lille have conceded ten goals in the opening three UCL games while scoring four. Bodo/Glimt are also coming off a high-scoring affair, a 4-3 loss to Napoli, so I am backing BTTS & over 2.5 goals as the main bet.
