Sturm Graz – Bodö/Glimt Tip Champions League, Qualification, Playoffs, Second Leg on Tuesday, 08/26/25 at 9:00 p.m.
The Austrian champions were overwhelmed by an avalanche of goals in the first leg, from which they will find it impossible to recover just one week later – conceding 5 goals weighs heavily!
I wouldn’t even want to bet a risk-free Interwetten free bet on the Styrians advancing at this point.
Nevertheless, in my Sturm Graz Bodö/Glimt prediction, I expect the hosts to make a conciliatory exit from this competition, which should satisfy their own fans to some extent.
This is because the Norwegians are fighting a neck-and-neck race with Viking for the top spot in their own country and are anything but a team that regularly causes a stir in European away games.
My Sturm Graz Bodö/Glimt tip: Graz to win
These are the arguments for my tip:
- Bodø/Glimt has won only 1 of its last 9 European away games!
- For Sturm Graz, it’s a matter of honor after the 0-5 defeat!
- The Norwegians have to do without several key players!
Sturm Graz vs. Bodö/Glimt AI predictions:
Before inquiring about betting odds comparisons, I fired up the calculator and asked ChatGPT for its very own Sturm Graz Bodö/Glimt AI prediction – after all, it doesn’t hurt to get some independent input.
I was impressed by the result. In my opinion, the risky suggestion of “Sturm Graz to win with HC -1” at a monster odds of around 5.40 justifies any gamble.
The Norwegians are already 99% through and have an important league match to play at the weekend, so they could indeed take their foot off the gas a little on Tuesday.

“1st goal: Sturm Graz” is a suggestion that I really like – especially at odds of around 1.90. After the embarrassing performance in the first leg, the fans are now expecting a courageous performance from their team.
“Double chance 1X” is another good suggestion for me, which comes with odds of around 1.50 on the betting markets. However, I would advise against this and go straight for a home win, as otherwise you would lose a lot of “value.”
