Dinamo Zagreb will invite Bodo/Glimt to the Stadion Maksimir in the second leg of the UEFA Champions League playoffs on Wednesday.
The first leg in Norway ended in a narrow 1-0 win in favour of Bodo/Glimt thanks to Amahl Pellegrino's first-half goal. A one-goal lead on aggregate puts them in a good position to qualify for the Champions League finals for the first time in history.
The home team have not qualified for the group stage of the Champions League since the 2019-20 campaign and will be looking to make the most of their home advantage here.

Dinamo Zagreb vs Bodo/Glimt Prediction
Superlaget have struggled in their travels in the qualifying campaign and are without a win in four away games thus far. They have scored just two goals in these games and have their work cut out for them as they look to defend their one-goal advantage.
Dinamo are undefeated at home, though they have conceded two goals apiece in their two home games in the qualifying campaign. The hosts secured a 5-2 win over Osijek in their Prva HNL fixture on Sunday while Bodo were held to a 2-2 draw in their Eliteserien game on Saturday.
Given the form of the two sides, a high-scoring draw might ensue here.
Prediction: Dinamo Zagreb 2-2 Bodo/Glimt
