Bodø / Glimt vs Maccabi Tel Aviv Prediction
Bodø / Glimt’s hard-fought 2-1 victory over Turkish giants Besiktas last time out in Europe leaves them only a point outside of the top eight, where each team is guaranteed a place in the round of 16. Whilst Maccabi Tel Aviv travel to Norway with momentum behind them in this competition, having won their last two Europa League encounter, 2-1 at home to RFS and 1-3 away at Besiktas.
League phase fixtures involving either of these two sides have typically produced high-scoring affairs over the course of this season so far and it would be no surprise to see something similar here. Each of the last eight Europa League games that has featured either Bodø / Glimt or Maccabi Tel Aviv has seen over 2.5 goals scored.
Expect the same story here, with both sides desperate for a win, the hosts in order to try and break into the top eight and Maccabi Tel Aviv to climb into the top 24, giving them at least a chance of knockout qualification through a knockout phase play-off. With that in mind, back over 2.5 goals regardless of who comes out on top.
Bodø / Glimt vs Maccabi Tel Aviv Tip: Over 2.5 goals
