Bodo/Glimt vs RFS Prediction and Betting Tips | July 23rd 2024

Bodo/Glimt will host RFS at the Aspmyra Stadion on Tuesday in the first leg of their 2024-25 UEFA Champions League second-round qualifying clash. The home side lifted the Eliteserien title last season and are pushing for their first-ever appearance in the Champions League group stages.

They faced Linfield in their last appearance at this stage of the qualifiers, thrashing the Northern Irish side 8-0 in the first leg before losing 1-0 on the road a week later and will hope they can hit similar heights here as well.

RFS are the current holders of the Latvian Virsliga and began their quest for continental football against Larne earlier in the month. They beat the Northern Irish side 3-0 in the first leg with three different players getting on the scoresheet including Latvia international Martins Kigurs.

The visitors then wrapped up the win with a 4-0 dismantling of Larne in the second leg at Inver Park and will be looking to take confidence from that when they head to Norway this week.

Glimt are without a clean sheet in their last five games across all competitions.

Bodo/Glimt vs RFS Prediction

Glimt have won four of their last five games and have lost just one of their last seven. They have picked up four wins and two draws from their last six home games and will be looking forward to the midweek clash.

RFS are on a brilliant seven-game winning streak and are undefeated in their last 15 games across all competitions. They have performed well on the road of late but could see defeat against significantly stronger opposition this Tuesday.
