KI Klasksvik vs Bodo Glimt Predictions

• Bodo/Glimt have won six of their last seven games in all competitions.
• KI have lost six of their last eight European ties.

KI in too deep against Norwegian champions 

Injuries have hit them hard but Bodø/Glimt can see off Faroe Islands champions KI in the Champions League first qualifying round on Tuesday. The Norwegian champions are still just about managing to stay close enough to the top in their title defence despite suffering a raft of injuries – with four more striking this past weekend.

Winger Ola Solbakken and defender Japhet Sery Larsen left Glimt’s 4-1 victory over Sarpsborg on Saturday with fresh problems while defender Brede Moe and midfielder Amahl Pellegrino had been ruled prior to kick-off out after picking up knocks in the first leg.

Glimt’s ability to keep the momentum going through the injury crisis is admirable, however, and they are just about deep enough to come through the second leg unscathed.

Superlaget can keep it tight when they need to

Superlaget, who have won six of their last seven games, exploited KI’s weakness on crosses ruthlessly last week with Nigerian hitman Victor Boniface grabbing a hat-trick of goals. The 3-0 home win pretty much puts this tie to bed, but Kjetil Knutsen’s men will need to defend well in Klaksvík too.

Three of Glimt’s last five away results have been wins accompanied by clean sheets and a win to nil must be a consideration again here, but with two more defenders and special winger Solbakken out – it may be better to side with fewer than three goals.

A 1-0 away win is the best play in correct score betting as KI have found goals at this level very hard to come by in the past.
