Bodo/Glimt vs Lille 3 November 2026 Prediction

Bodø/Glimt have already recorded a 1-0 home win over Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League. Next they face Lille, who have lost all three of their matches in the competition. The French side must travel north of the Arctic Circle to play on the artificial turf at Aspmyra, where Bodø/Glimt have been difficult to beat.

Bodø/Glimt Have a Strong Home Record

Bodø/Glimt remain in a close race for the Norwegian title. Kjetil Knutsen’s side beat league leaders Viking 3-2 in their most recent match, leaving both clubs on 59 points after 25 games. That result followed a 1-0 home loss to Vålerenga. Bodø/Glimt have still won four of their last five home league games, scoring at least three goals in each victory.

In the Champions League, Bodø/Glimt opened with a 5-0 loss to Bayern Munich, then beat Borussia Dortmund 1-0 before losing 4-3 to Napoli. They had a 2.67 to 1.53 edge in expected goals (xG) against Napoli in Italy and held Dortmund to 0.79 xG at home. Håkon Evjen is recovering from a knee injury, while August Mikkelsen is working his way back from a groin injury. Magnus Bech Riisnæs has recovered and was included in the squad for the latest league match.

Lille Have Lost All Three Champions League Matches

Lille’s domestic results have improved. After a 2-1 loss to Nice, Davide Ancelotti’s side drew 1-1 with both Brest and Monaco, then beat Lens 1-0. They are unbeaten in three matches and have conceded just once in the last two. Goals remain scarce in Ligue 1: Lille have scored four times in their last four league games, never more than once in a match. Their attack has been more productive in Europe.

Lille have no points in the Champions League after losses to Real Betis (3-2), Arsenal (3-0) and Galatasaray (4-2). Defending has been the main issue. They have conceded 10 goals in three games, including seven at home. Lille scored twice in each of their two home matches but lost both. Tiago Santos, Hamza Igamane and Ayase Ueda are injured, while Ethan Mbappé is suspended. Three of those four absences are attacking players, limiting Ancelotti’s options up front.

Bodø/Glimt vs Lille Predicted Lineup

Bodø/Glimt (4-4-2): Haikin; Sjøvold, Gundersen, Bjørtuft, Bjørkan; Auklend, Berg, Brunstad Fet, Hauge; Blomberg, Helmersen

Unavailable: Evjen, Mikkelsen, J. Lund (all injured)

Lille (4-3-3): Özer; Goffi, Ngoy, Alexsandro, Perraud; Mukau, Bentaleb, André; Bakwa, Haraldsson, Diaoune

Unavailable: Santos, Igamane, Ueda (all injured); Mbappé (suspended)

Manager: Davide Ancelotti

Referee: João Pinheiro (Portugal)

This will be Pinheiro’s first Champions League match of the season. He has refereed three Europa League games, averaging 3.33 yellow cards and 19.67 fouls per match. He has shown no red cards and awarded one penalty.

Bodø/Glimt vs Lille Prediction: Bodø/Glimt to Win at 1.87

Main prediction: Lille are winless in their last three away games, with two losses and a draw, and have scored only twice in that stretch. Injuries have further reduced their attacking options. Bodø/Glimt, meanwhile, have lost just two of their last 15 home matches in all competitions and have beaten Borussia Dortmund 1-0 at Aspmyra in the Champions League. The pick is Bodø/Glimt to win at 1.87.

Goals prediction: Despite Bodø/Glimt’s scoring record in Norway, this match could be low-scoring. Three of Lille’s last five away games in all competitions have had fewer than three goals. Their match against Arsenal remained scoreless for more than an hour before ending 3-0. Galatasaray scored four against Lille, but generated only 1.39 xG. Bodø/Glimt’s 1-0 home win over Dortmund produced a combined 1.90 xG, and Lille’s attacking absences provide another reason to expect fewer chances. The additional pick is under 2.5 goals at 2.55.
