Bodo Glimt vs Juventus Prediction 26 November 2025

📢 What surprises might the clash between Bodø/Glimt and Juventus bring in the fifth round of the Champions League group stage? Both teams enter the game at the Aspmyra Stadium under pressure, as they currently sit outside the top 24 and risk complicating their path to the playoffs. With the group stage past its midpoint, every point lost could significantly impact the clubs' futures. Adding to the intrigue is the fact that neither Bodø/Glimt nor Juventus have secured a win in this season's Champions League campaign. This promises to be an intensely competitive match.

Head-to-Head

📊 The teams have never faced each other before, neither in official matches nor in friendlies.

Bodo/Glimt Team Overview

🟡 Bodø/Glimt have undeniably been the torchbearers of Norwegian football in recent years. The club have clinched the Eliteserien title in four of the last five seasons and made a significant mark on the international stage. However, this season, they risk missing out on the title: heading into the final round of the championship, they sit in second place, trailing Viking by just one point. The title race could have been decided last weekend when Bodø/Glimt narrowly defeated KFUM Oslo with a dramatic goal in the 90+4th minute (2-1). Without that goal, their chances for the gold medals would have been effectively dashed.

🔵 The Champions League campaign has also been challenging. Yes, it's Bodø/Glimt's first-ever group stage appearance, but with only 2 points from four matches and a 29th place out of 36, it's hard to label this as a success. In the previous round, they fell at home to an inconsistent Monaco (0-1), despite delivering a strong performance. The Norwegians outperformed their opponents in nearly every key statistic but couldn't find a way past the outstanding Philipp Köhn. Such defeats are painful—they impact not only their standings but also the team's morale.

Juventus Turin Team Overview

⚪ Juventus are not faring any better than Bodø/Glimt. After Igor Tudor's departure, it seemed like things were starting to improve with two consecutive wins sparking optimism. However, that feeling proved misleading. Heading into their next match, the Turin side are on a run of three draws and couldn't even overcome Fiorentina (1-1) last weekend, a team firmly rooted at the bottom of the Serie A table. Fans of the "Old Lady" are increasingly frustrated as they watch the standings, with rivals in the race for the top four gradually pulling away, taking advantage of Juventus's poor form.

⚫ In the Champions League, the situation is far from ideal as well. With half of the group stage behind them, Juventus have only managed to secure three points and sit 26th in the standings. In their previous outing, they drew at home against Sporting CP (1-1). The Italians dominated from start to finish, creating plenty of chances and by all metrics deserved to win, but they failed to convert their advantage into a result—and in such matches, that's what truly matters.

Latest news

Bodo/Glimt

📣 Bodø/Glimt's head coach Kjetil Knutsen, after their 2-1 victory over KFUM Oslo, humorously remarked that he would prefer to avoid unnecessary tension: "For the sake of my health – which I need to consider too – it would have been better to settle things in the first half. I'm not as young as I used to be to handle such nail-biting finishes."

🚫 Jostein Gundersen will miss the upcoming match due to a red card he received in the previous round. Additionally, Ola Brynhildsen is recovering from a knee injury and is not expected to return until early December. No other injury updates have been reported.

Juventus Turin

📣 Juventus head coach Luciano Spalletti, following the 1-1 draw with Fiorentina, acknowledged that the team made mistakes unacceptable for their level: "In the first half, we played too academically and made errors that are simply not acceptable given our quality. We must raise the bar in every aspect to come to tough grounds like this and secure victories."

🚫 Juventus face more squad issues than their Norwegian counterparts. Gleison Bremer is sidelined until early January due to a meniscus injury. Carlo Pinsoglio and Daniele Rugani are recovering from a leg injury and a muscle strain, respectively, and won't play this month. Arkadiusz Milik is unavailable due to a calf injury.

⚽️ Goal Prediction

⚽️ Goal Prediction

Recently, Juventus have noticeably slowed down in their attacking play. The "Old Lady" have managed to score more than one goal in only two of their last nine matches. This occurred against Udinese (3-1), where the Turin side converted two penalties, and against Serie A newcomers Cremonese (2-1). On the other hand, Bodø/Glimt play with great determination at home and defend solidly, rarely allowing visitors to create many chances. Therefore, betting on Juventus to score under 1.5 goals seems a justified choice.

🚩 Corner Prediction

In the current Champions League campaign, Bodø/Glimt have been attacking actively and frequently reaching the corner flag—averaging 4.8 times per match (including qualification rounds). At home, the Norwegian team confidently takes the initiative: they've maintained more possession and created dangerous opportunities even against formidable opponents like Tottenham (2-2) and Monaco (0-1). Considering their aggressive style of play on home turf, betting on Bodø/Glimt to have over 4.5 corners appears to be a solid option.
