Even though it’s going to be a tough match, the Norwegians definitely have some kind of home advantage. Not only due to the crowd but also due to the surface that they are playing on.
A number of battles have been fought on the hallowed artificial turf at FK Bodo/Glimt’s Aspmyra Stadium in recent months. Among others, the Norwegian top club was able to defeat Roma (2x), AZ Alkmaar, or Celtic Glasgow in front of their home crowd last season. The only home match in this year’s Europa League group stage was also victorious.
In last week’s matchup between those two teams, the Gunners dictated the match completely and won effortlessly 3:0. Even though they will now have to face the Norwegian team on the artificial pitch, the Gunners are still the clear favorites for the Bodo Glimt vs Arsenal odds.

Last weekend Arsenal managed to score a very important win against Liverpool by 3:2. With an impressive stat line of eight wins out of the last nine games, the Gunners are leading the league in front of Manchester City. If they manage to score another win internationally against the Norwegians, they could already go straight to the round of the last sixteen. That’s definitely something and so far they have crystallized as one of the big favorites to win the Europa League.
Therefore they are obviously the clear favorites for the Bodo Glimt vs Arsenal odds as well. Especially on the offensive side, the team from coach Mikel Arteta is doing great. Their only weakness so far has been more on the defensive side. You might still get very good Bodo Glimt vs Arsenal odds for the English match winner. Currently, they are sitting at 1.44.
Bodo Glimt vs Arsenal prediction
It will also be interesting to see to what extent the Spanish coach will manage the workload and rotate through. Already in the first two games, some players were used who belong to the second tier at the league level. With a mixture of supplementary players as well as extremely talented youngsters, the Cannoniers will therefore approach the task in Norway.
Nevertheless, there should be no shortage of technical training and plenty of individual quality. In addition, young professionals in particular are eager to make the most of their opportunity. If Arteta’s plan doesn’t work out, he still has the option of bringing in established and fit players from the bench during the second half.
We still expect Arsenal to perform well. Their self-confidence is through the roof and they want to keep their hot streak definitely going.
Our prediction: HC -1 with odds 2.12
