Our prediction for the match Lazio vs Bodo/Glimt
The Italians fell from 2nd to 7th place in 2023. Now, they, being under the leadership of Baroni, are trying to regain their positions as much as possible, and there is a chance for the quartet of the Serie A leaders to return. On the other hand, there is a high level of competition and enough contenders to reach the Champions League. Those who have no equal rival in their country now are Knutsen’s footballers. They once again won the Eliteserien in 2024. And they confidently started the new tournament in the spring.
So far, the Scandinavians have not been able to break through to the main round of the Champions League. This time, Crvena Zvezda did not let them in: the team exchanged victories on their home fields in the decisive qualifying round, but the Serbs scored 1 goal more. The club is doing well in the Europa League, it took 14 points in the main round, and then, even before the start of the new national championship, knocked out Twente and Olympiacos in the play-offs. The representatives of Italy were frankly careless about the European competition. Still, the team, even with a semi-reserve line-up, showed the best result in the main round, and they overcame Viktoria Plzen at the 1/8 stage (a 2-1 score at the away arena and a 1-1 draw on the native field).
The hosts won very confidently in Norway. The Italians held out in the first half, but conceded twice after the break.
