Bodo/Glimt to Win
With four wins from their last five away assignments, Bodo/Glimt have been performing brilliantly on the road of late and we’re tipping the Norwegians to harness the momentum they have built from that excellent run against Zalgiris. Bodo/Glimt beat the Lithuanians in the pre-qualifiers for the Europa League a year ago in 2020 and they are priced generously to topple the Žaliai Balti again this week.
Both Teams to Score
While Bodo/Glimt’s recent record away from home has been top drawer, they rarely secure clean sheets, indeed both teams have scored in three of their last four tests on the road. When you consider that Zalgiris have scored in 15 of their last 16 competitive home matches, the BTTS market becomes an attractive option again on Thursday.
Erik Botheim to Score Anytime
Erik Botheim is enjoying a breakout season in 2021 following his move from Rosenborg to Bodo/Glimt and the 21-year-old looks a great price in the anytime goalscorer market on Thursday. Botheim has already bagged a hugely impressive 13 goals in 21 appearances for his new club and with his self-belief fully charged, the prolific attacker will be his team’s biggest danger man this week.
Zalgiris vs Bodo/Glimt: Match Preview
Zalgiris
Zalgiris are taking their third swing at qualifying for a European tournament proper this year having already fallen short in the Champions and Europa League. Though their domestic form remains strong, the Lithuanians have found the going much tougher on the continent and they enter Thursday’s first-leg as underdogs as a result.
Bodo/Glimt
Bodo/Glimt are firmly part of the title race conversation in Norway this season and the Superlaget will be determined to complement their domestic form with a strong showing on the continent. Bodo/Glimt had to work hard to beat Kosovan side Prishtina over two legs in the previous round of the Europa Conference League qualifiers, though they swept Icelandic outfit Valur aside in impressive fashion before that.
