Bodø/Glimt vs Maccabi Tel Aviv: Match Preview
Bodø/Glimt wrapped up the Eliteserien season in November, securing their second consecutive championship. Their Europa League campaign has been promising as well. They started the competition with a three-match unbeaten run, including two wins and a draw. However, they suffered a surprising loss to Qarabağ and a narrow away defeat to Manchester United. In their most recent match, they defeated Beşiktaş and now sit with 10 points after six rounds. With just a three-point lead over the 25th team, Bodø/Glimt hasn’t yet secured a playoff spot and needs at least one win in their next two matches.
Maccabi Tel Aviv is currently active in their domestic league, where they have won twice, drawn twice, and lost once in their last five matches. In the Europa League, the team still has work to do to secure a playoff spot. They have six points after six rounds and trail the 24th-placed team by just one point. However, their next two matches against Bodø/Glimt and Porto will be challenging. A major issue for the Israeli side has been their defense, having conceded 13 goals in six matches—one of the worst records in the competition.
Probable Lineups
- Bodø/Glimt: Haikin; Sjovold, Bjortuft, Gundersen, Bjorkan; Evjen, Berg, Saltnes; Helmersen, Hauge, Hogh
- Maccabi Tel Aviv: Mishpati; Nachmias, Stojic, Lemkin, Revivo; Van Overeem, Kanichowsky; Madmon, Peretz, Layous; Turgeman
Prediction
Both teams are highly motivated, as they are still vying for a playoff spot, which will likely lead to a risky and aggressive match. However, the Norwegian side seems to have the edge. Playing at home, where they have been a formidable force, and with additional rest, Bodø/Glimt appears to be the stronger contender. My prediction is a victory for Bodø/Glimt, with odds of 1.63.
