Bodö/Glimt – Sturm Graz Prediction Champions League, Qualification, Playoffs, First Leg on Wednesday, 08/20/25 at 9:00 p.m.
Here we go again! The 2025/26 European Cup season is slowly entering its main phase, and in northern Norway, the “Yellows” will once again cause headaches for one or two top teams.
My Bodö/Glimt Sturm Graz tip simply cannot ignore the fact that the hosts have won nine of their last 11 international home games and came within a hair’s breadth of reaching the Europa League final last season.
In my opinion, you would therefore be well advised to place football bets on the Norwegian serial champions, at least in the first leg.
My Bodö/Glimt Sturm Graz tip: Victory for the Norwegians!
These are the arguments for my tip:
- The Norwegians have won 9 of their last 11 European home games!
- Graz, on the other hand, has lost its last 4 European Cup away games!
- The hosts just crushed Stromsgodset 5-0 in the league!
Bodö/Glimt vs. Sturm Graz AI predictions:
The Bodö/Glimt Sturm Graz AI prediction from ChatGPT provided me with valuable input. Basically, I have no objections – all three suggestions have their charm and their merits!
“Bodö/Glimt to score over 3.5 goals” at odds of around 4.70 seems pretty crazy at first glance! However, the Yellow team won 7-2 at home against Valeranga a few weeks ago.
Predicted chance of winning:
| Bodö/Glimt win |
Draw |
Sturm Graz win |
| 53.3% |
21.3% |
25.4% |
“Bodö/Glimt leads at half-time” at odds of around 2.10, as currently offered in the Bet365 app, also appeals to me. Especially after a furious start, it could well be 1-0 to the hosts at half-time.
“1st goal Bodö/Glimt” at odds of around 1.50 actually seems like a safe bet – statistically, at least, it’s hard to argue with. FK Bodö/Glimt has scored the first goal in each of its last 15 games.
