Lazio vs Bodo/Glimt Prediction

Bodo/Glimt have shown in recent years that they can seriously compete at European level and they took a major step towards the semi-finals of this competition with a 2-0 defeat of Italian giants Lazio in Norway last week courtesy of an Uli Saltnes brace.

Lazio have been underwhelming in the last few months and had to settle for a 1-1 draw in the Derby della Capitale at the Stadio Olimpico against Roma the other day. They have now managed just three victories in their last 12 matches across all competitions. Kjetil Knutsen’s Bodo/Glimt will believe that with so many sides faltering in the UEFA Europa League that they can be a serious threat to win this competition next month.

Despite just how impressive Bodo/Glimt have been this season, siding with Lazio may well be the way to go for this one so, especially with their home advantage.

Lazio vs Bodo/Glimt Tip: Double chance – Lazio to win or draw
