Starting Tuesday's UEFA Champions League Round-of-16 action is the game between Sporting Lisbon and Bodo/Glimt. The Norwegian team took full of advantage of playing at their rather unique home last week, winning by three goals to zero. The men in yellow aren't always as effective on the road, so this game in the Portuguese capital probably won't be as straightforward, but they've built themselves a healthy aggregate lead, so much so that they really should fancy themselves to see out the job.
The men in green and white struggled to cope with a combination of testing weather conditions and an artificial surface last week, while they also found it hard to handle a very cohesive team, a team that really does play some excellent soccer. Back on home soil, Rui Borges' men will be confident of delivering an improved performance, but will they be strong enough to overturn the three-goal deficit? I'm far from convinced.

Our Sporting Lisbon vs Bodoe/Glimt Prediction
A lot has obviously been made about how effective Tuesday's visitors are on home soil, where they really have maximized the fact that most of their UCL opponents are unfamiliar with the conditions, but let's be honest, this is a team that has a lot more to offer. Even away from home, the Bodo boys have outplayed and outfought some of Europe's best, often hitting on the break in devastating fashion.
On Tuesday, the visitors should have lots of chances on the break against a Sporting side that is three goals down, a Sporting side that has no choice but to push forward and leave themselves exposed. I'm really not sure that the early market has considered this enough, and for my money, Kjetil Knutsen's men can do more damage than the early odds would have us believe.
Our Sporting Lisbon vs Bodo/Glimt Pick: Bodo/Glimt to Score Over 1.5 Goals.
