Braga vs Bodø/Glimt prediction and betting tips on October 23, 2024
Europa League
The upcoming match in the UEFA Europa League will feature Braga and Bodø/Glimt. The match will take place at Estádio Municipal de Braga in Braga.
Braga
A visit to Campo Conde de Sucena was a much-needed trip to see Braga return to winning ways and regain their momentum. They secured a 2-1 win over third-tier 1° Dezembro in the third round of the Taça de Portugal. Carlos Carvalhal's men will be aiming to make it two wins in a row as they welcome Bodø/Glimt to the Estádio Municipal de Braga, a venue that inspires little confidence with one win from their last six games (L5) in European competitions.
Heading into the international break, Os Arsenalistas had suffered two consecutive matches, both of which were notable. A 3-0 thrashing at the hands of Olympiacos on the second match day of the Europa League followed a 2-1 defeat against title-chasing FC Porto in the domestic league.
Bodo/Glimt
Providing the opposition is Bodo Glimt, whose performance leading up to this match has been impressive. The Norwegian side has suffered just two defeats in their last 18 matches across all competitions (W12, D4) and will want to build on this momentum to secure a much-needed win against Portuguese opposition Braga.
The Yellow Horde were held to a goalless draw against Tromso in the league over the weekend, extending their draw streak to two games following a similar scoreline against Union Saint-Gilloise in the Europa League, which was the first time in the club's history they've managed to maintain a shutout in the competition.
Probable Line-ups
Braga: Matheus; Gomez, Arrey-Mbi, Bambu, Marin, Fernandes, Zalazar, Carvalho, Horta, El Ouazzani, Martinez

Prediction
Braga will be aiming for two wins in a row across all competitions on Wednesday. However, they face a daunting task ahead of them as they take on a side that has typified consistency in their matches, making this a tricky match. Both sides have shown that they know where the net is, and we recommend supporting the total to exceed 2.5 goals.
