Inter Milan vs Bodo Glimt Predictions

• Inter Milan trail 3-1 from the first leg in Norway
• Both teams have scored with at least three goals in six of Inter’s last seven home games
• Both teams have scored with at least three goals in Bodo/Glimt’s last seven away matches

Bodo/Glimt gaining greater Euro respect

Bodo/Glimt pulled off yet another Champions League shock at home to Inter Milan last week and will now attempt to finish the job at the San Siro on Tuesday. Maybe it should not have been that much of a shock after their stunning wins at home to Manchester City and away at Atletico Madrid in January.

They also earned a 2-2 draw in Dortmund and gave Juventus a mighty scare in a 3-2 home loss late last year so their momentum has been steadily building. Kjetil Knutsen’s side have every chance of knocking Inter out if they keep their calm in Milan.

Christian Chivu’s side are powering clear at the top of Serie A but have not been anywhere near as convincing in the Champions League since Simone Inzaghi left after guiding them to last season’s final.

Nerazzurri not as good as last year

The Nerazzurri won five and lost three of their eight league phase games with four of their beaten opponents finishing in the bottom 10 places of the 36-team table.

The fact that Bodo/Glimt tore one of the best defences in Europe last season to shreds last week should be a warning to anyone thinking of backing them to win this return leg.

Backing goals is the way to go in a tie that Inter have to approach positively. Both teams have scored with at least three goals in six of Inter’s last seven home games and in the Norwegians’ last seven away matches in all competitions – a trend that could continue on Tuesday.
