Galatasaray vs Bodoe/Glimt Prediction & Picks - Champions League

Prediction published on 10/22/25, 9:01 AM  by Erik Gibbs | Modified on 10/22/25 at 2:40 PM in Champions League Picks

Galatasaray face off on Wednesday, and Bodø/Glimt Galatasaray have been in outstanding domestic form this year. They lead the Turkish Süper Lig standings with an impressive winning streak, having won 20 of their last 22 official matches (with just one draw and one loss) across all competitions. In the league this season they have scored prolifically and rarely dropped points. Internationally, however, they've shown mixed results. In their opening Champions League match they suffered a heavy 5-1 loss to Eintracht Frankfurt, which was a shock to their confidence. They bounced back immediately, though, beating Liverpool 1-0 at home in the next round. Overall, Galatasaray's form is that of a domestic champion: dynamic in attack and hard to beat.

Bodø/Glimt enter this match as Norway's top side. They finished 2nd in the Eliteserien last season and have continued a strong run domestically. In European play, this is their first UEFA Champions League group stage. They drew both of their first two matches (2-2 away at Slavia Prague and 2-2 at home with Tottenham Hotspur). Those results suggest they are competitive but still adapting at this level. In both games Bodø/Glimt displayed resilience by coming from behind (for example, turning a 2-0 deficit into a draw).

So far, Bodø/Glimt have been unbeaten in five straight European group games (including qualifying), with two wins and three draws. Notably, those matches have often been high-scoring affairs. The contrast: Galatasaray bring a winning machine mentality (especially at home) while Bodø/Glimt bring attacking grit and teamwork on the road.
