Game Prediction
Bodø/Glimt and Twente will face off in the second leg of the Europa League playoff round on February 20, 2025. The Norwegian side narrowly missed out on a draw in the first leg but will aim to secure overall success at home.
Our Prediction for Bodø/Glimt vs Twente
The Norwegian club has emerged as a dominant force in their domestic league in recent years. They reclaimed the Eliteserien title in 2023 and successfully defended it last season. Meanwhile, Twente finished third in the Eredivisie last season but is now battling to remain in the top five.
Bodø/Glimt once again started their European journey in the Champions League qualifiers, but as in previous years, they failed to advance. They overcame RFS and Jagiellonia but fell short against Crvena Zvezda in the final round. In the Europa League group stage, Knutsen’s squad had a strong start, collecting seven points in their first three matches. However, defeats to Qarabağ and Manchester United followed. Despite a winter break in domestic play, they managed to secure wins against Beşiktaş and Maccabi Tel Aviv. Yet, a disappointing draw against Nice cost them direct qualification for the Round of 16.
Twente also started in the Champions League qualifiers but was eliminated early by Red Bull Salzburg—losing 1-2 away and drawing 3-3 at home. Their Europa League group stage campaign was inconsistent, alternating between draws and losses in the first six rounds. However, a strong January surge, with victories over Malmö and Beşiktaş, secured their place in the knockout rounds.
Last Thursday, both teams found the net in the first leg, with the match seemingly heading for a draw. However, Twente won a last-minute penalty, which Van Wolfswinkel converted in stoppage time to give his side a crucial 2-1 victory.
