Bodo/Glimt is favored to win their upcoming match against USG, with their impressive form this season, a strong showing in last year’s UEFA Champions League, and the distinctive artificial turf at home in Norway cited as key advantages. Although USG is expected to score, it will likely only serve as a consolation goal. The primary recommendation is a Bodo/Glimt win, leveraging the team's consistent performance and home ground advantage.

Playing against Bodo/Glimt in Norway is tricky for every team since they use artificial turf. The home side has been in fantastic form lately and I will back them to come on top here and advance in regular time. 

Key Stats  


  • Bodo/Glimt have won 6 of their last 7 matches. 
  • Bodo/Glimt have seen BTTS in their last 2 matches. 
  • Union St Gilloise have seen BTTS in 6 of their last 7 matches (including pre-season). 

H2H Stats are Tied 


This is going to be the third head to head match between Bodo/Glimt and Union St Gilloise. Both previous clashes ended without a winner. 

Yellow Horde Dominating Eliteserien 


Bodo/Glimt were ahead twice in last week’s tie against Union St Gilloise, but ultimately barely got away with a 3-3 draw thanks to Odin Bjortuf’s equalizer in the 91st minute. 

They have been in competitive rhythm for months and their recent form has been sensational, six straight victories pushing them up to 1st place in the Eliteserien.   

Last weekend, the Yellow Horde defeated Valerenga 2-1 on the road, posting 1.88-1.29 xG with 61% possession. Andreas Helmersen and Haitam Aleesami were the scorers. 

USG Unbeaten This Season 


Union St Gilloise’s first match this season was in early August in the Belgian Super Cup where they were labelled underdogs against Belgian champions Brugge but won the trophy on penalties (1-1 in regular time). 

Raul Florucz found two equalizers in the first half last week against Bodo/Glimt, while Promise David put them ahead in the 88th minute but couldn’t hold and had to settle for a 3-3 draw here. 

Last weekend, USG opened the new Pro League campaign with a commanding 5-1 road victory against Westerlo, firing 10 shots on target. David was named man of the match, registering one goal and one assist. 

Team News & Predicted Lineups 


Bodo/Glimt (4-3-3) Nikita Haikin; Fredrik Sjovold, Odin Bjortuft, Jostein Gundersen, Fredrik Bjorkan; Sondre Auklend, Patrick Berg, Sondre Fet; Ole Blomberg, Ola Brynhildsen, Jens Petter Hauge

Bodo/Glimt's top striker from last few seasons Kasper Hogh has made a move to Celtic. Hakon Evjen is out with a knee injury.

Union St Gilloise (3-4-1-2) Vic Chambaere; Kevin Mac Allister, Massire Sylla, Ross Sykes; Louis Patris, Rob Schoofs, Kamiel Van De Perre, Ousseynou Niang; Darius Olaru; Raul Florucz, Promise David

Adem Zorgane is the only injury concern for the visitors, recovering from a knock. Anan Khalaili has left the club last weekend, most likely joining Twente in upcoming days.

Verdict

Amazing form, great run in the UCL last season and specific artificial turf in Norway are the reasons why I’m backing Bodo/Glimt to win here. USG are likely to find the net but only as a consolation.
