Galatasaray vs Bodo/Glimt Prediction & Betting Tips (22 October)

The three-time title holder in Türkiye suffered lightning on the first day by losing at Eintracht Frankfurt 5-1 but surprisingly recovered at home against the Liverpool Reds by winning without conceding a goal 1-0. A very important success for the Turks who had the added bonus of two great victories in the league against Konyaspor 3-1 and on the turf of Alanyaspor 0-1. Before the international break, Galatasaray was forced to share the points at home against Besiktas, all while playing ten against eleven for an hour of play 1-1. Last weekend, in order to maximize their confidence, the local team tried to remain undefeated in the SuperLig on the Basaksehir field, results to come. Semi-finalist of the Europa League last year, Bodo/Glimt moved to the next level by participating in this Champions League and has for the moment still not lost, thus recording two points sharing with Slavia Prague away 2-2 and with the same score for the reception of Tottenham Spurs 2-2 even missing a penalty in the first act.

As a reminder, the Norwegians, a few months earlier, had been caught by this same Tottenham team in the Europa League semi-final. In the championship, everything is going well for the current runner-up to Viking. The Bodo is only one point behind but is still a day behind the Viking boss. Ban on missteps last weekend on the Sarpsborg pitch, result to come in order to maintain a series of 13 days without defeat in the elite. 

In this Champions League, two elements were not registered to participate, in this case Kazimcan Karatas and Gurpuz, two young players never used in the championship as well. It will be necessary to take stock of the state of health of the former Monegasque Singo, who was injured before the league break. The Gala coach, Okan Buruk will in principle be able to count on Akgun, Gungodan (ex-Man City / Barcelona), Yilmaz without forgetting the two center forwards Osimhen and Icardi, all of them as backup to apply for a starting spot today. For the Norwegian team, replacement goalkeeper Magnus Brondbo returned from the U20 World Cup following Norway's elimination against France. The injured Daniel Bassi, Ola Brynhildsen (arrived from Toronto) and Brede Moe should forfeit.

Absent the last week of competition before the break due to illness, Ulrik Saltnes (7 goals, 4 assists in the league) should be back. Striker Jens Hauge (6 goals, 3 assists in the league) scored a resounding double against Tottenham, allowing his comrades not to lose the match. It was the experienced Kasper Hogh (16 goals, 5 assists) who missed the penalty that could have changed everything.
