Bodo Glimt vs Sturm Graz Predictions

• Bodo Glimt won nine of 11 home games in Europe last season
• The hosts have scored 47 times across their last 18 home matches in Europe
• Sturm Graz lost all four of their away games in last season’s Champions League
• Bodo Glimt head into this tie following seven wins from their last eight matches

Bodo can clear final hurdle

Bodo Glimt are bidding to end their wait for a place in the Champions League proper when they host Sturm Graz on Wednesday night. The Norwegian champions navigated two qualifiers a year ago before a 3-2 loss in the playoff round to Crvena zvezda.

Bodo responded to that setback with an incredible run to the last four of the Europa League. They ended the campaign having won nine of 11 home games in Europe, beating the likes of Porto, Olympiakos, and Lazio.

The hosts have recently taken control of the Eliteserien title race, thanks to a run of seven wins from their last eight league games. They head into Wednesday’s first leg in stellar form, while they host a Sturm Graz side who lost all four of their Champions League trips last season.

The Austrian outfit have scored in each of their first three matches of the campaign, but they’ll struggle to match the hosts’ incredible attacking record in Europe. Across 18 home games since the 2023/24 campaign, they’ve netted 47 times.

Striker Kasper Hogh should expect more chances to fall his way, having scored 16 times in 19 league games this season. He scored nine goals in 19 European appearances last season, so back him to score in an entertaining home win.
