Key Stats

First H2H Since 1976
These two sides locked horns in the Cup Winners’ Cup in September 1976, Napoli winning both games 2-0 and 1-0.
Napoli Going Through a Rough Period
Napoli are under pressure after starting the new Champions League campaign with two straight defeats. A 1-0 home loss to Arsenal in the opening round was somewhat expected, while last week they were beaten in Spain by Villarreal 3-1.
Massimiliano Allegri’s side gained an early lead here, Amir Rrahmani scoring in the 8th minute but then conceded three unanswered goals. Napoli ended this clash with 1.70-1.25 expected goals and 3-4 shots on target.
Their problems continued in the Italian Serie A last weekend, registering 29 shots (10 on target) and posting 2.36 expected goals against Venezia yet losing the encounter 1-0.
Visitors Riding a Four-Game Winning Streak
Bodo/Glimt haven’t shown much in the UCL opening round, getting smashed by Bayern Munich 5-0 at Allianz Arena, but responded in best way possible by taking down Borussia Dortmund 1-0 at home last week.
The Yellow Horde did a fantastic job defensively here, limiting BVB to just one shot on target, while Fredrik Sjovold was the sole scorer in the 52nd minute.
Bodo/Glimt are also doing great on their domestic front, winning all three games against Rana FK 6-2 (Norwegian Cup), Kristiansund 3-1 and most recently HamKam 2-0.
Team News & Predicted Lineups
Napoli (3-4-2-1) Vanja Milinkovic-Savic; Rafa Marin, Amir Rrahmani, Benoit Badiashile; Giovanni Di Lorenzo, Stanislav Lobotka, Scott McTominay, Leonardo Spinazzola; Matteo Politano, Kevin De Bruyne; Rasmus Hojlund
Napoli enter the fixture managing several squad absences, as David Neres, Antonio Vergara, Costantino Favasuli, and Alessandro Buongiorno remain sidelined through injury while Alisson Santos is doubtful.

Verdict
Napoli will be very motivated on Tuesday, desperately needing points after losing both UCL games so far. Bodo/Glimt lost their last two away games in the UCL with a goal difference of 0-10, so I am backing the Italian side to win.
