Bodo/Glimt vs Monaco prediction: EUROPE: Champions League – League phase betting tips on match 2025-11-03 20:00.
[p]Neither Bodø/Glimt nor Monaco have been able to claim a win in the UEFA Champions League (UCL) league phase this term, but that could all change for one side in the Arctic Circle. [/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Life for Bodø/Glimt had been going perfectly on the domestic front with four wins from four before an unexpected 3-1 defeat to VĂĄlerenga at the weekend saw the hosts’ grip on top spot in the Norwegian Eliteserien loosen slightly. That loss will have dented Kjetil Knutsen’s side’s confidence heading into what is a pivotal UCL clash after failing to win any of their opening three outings in the competition (D2, L1), losing 3-1 to Galatasaray on matchday three. It’s been their leaky backline that has caused trouble on the European front in particular, conceding 2+ goals in each of their last six major European outings – doing so for a seventh time would equal an unwanted club record! [/p]
[p]Monaco also head into this clash winless across their opening three UCL league phase fixtures this season (D2, L1), though could be deemed unlucky not to have won last time out after having the lion’s share of shots and possession in a 0-0 draw against Tottenham. An inability to take their chances saw the visitors fall to a shock 1-0 Ligue 1 defeat to Paris FC over the weekend too as Monaco fell four points off the title pace. Manager Sébastien Pocognoli will now have to quickly pick his side up ahead of this outing, where they look to end their six-match winless streak in the UCL (D3, L3). [/p]
