Our Napoli vs Bodo Glimt prediction starts with a home side in a real hole, hosting in-form visitors in the Champions League on Tuesday night at the Maradona.
Napoli have lost five of their opening nine matches across all competitions, both Champions League outings included. Saturday's Serie A defeat at Venezia only deepened the gloom.
Bodo Glimt arrive on four straight wins, including a statement victory over Borussia Dortmund last week, and they will fancy their pace against a Napoli side short on confidence.
With Napoli without a point in the competition, this is close to must-win territory for the hosts. Bodo, though, have conceded in each of their last 17 away matches in continental competition.
Napoli vs Bodo Glimt Form
Napoli's season has gone sideways. Defeats to Arsenal and Villarreal leave them pointless in Europe, and Saturday's loss at Venezia saw Kevin De Bruyne have a penalty saved off the bench. A Napoli win would have landed just 4 times in their last 10 matches against all opponents. De Bruyne and Rasmus Hojlund returning is the obvious lift.
Bodo Glimt carry far more momentum. Fredrik Sjøvold's second-half winner sank Borussia Dortmund at Aspmyra Stadion, and the weekend win over HamKam kept the domestic run rolling. Jens Petter Hauge, Helmersen and Sondre Fet are all pushing for starts, and that front end gives Kjetil Knutsen a side built to hurt teams on the break.

Napoli
The Napoli vs Bodo Glimt lineups are probable rather than confirmed, but Kevin De Bruyne and Rasmus Hojlund are expected back in the XI after being rested at the weekend, with Hojlund likely to replace Lorenzo Lucca in attack. Mathias Olivera and Frank Anguissa have returned to fitness and could feature, while Alisson Santos is a doubt after picking up a knock against Venezia.
Bodo Glimt
Odin Bjortuft is available again after serving his suspension. Kjetil Knutsen is expected to recall several regular starters after the weekend win over HamKam, with Patrick Helmersen and Sondre Fet both pushing for starting roles. Jens Petter Hauge could also return after being named among the substitutes on Saturday.

Napoli vs Bodo Glimt Prediction & Best Bets
Our prediction: Napoli to win, with both teams scoring. The form guide points the other way, but the hosts are rated a 56.78% shot to take this one. They are 8/11 (10Bet) favourites, and with De Bruyne and Hojlund back there is enough quality in that side to get the job done, even if Bodo land a blow of their own.
Best Bets
Both Teams To Score: Yes. Napoli's attack meets a Bodo/Glimt side who should carry a threat of their own. Both teams scoring is rated at 65.16%, which is a strong number for a fixture like this. The projected total of 3.51 goals points to an open, messy night, and Bodo's counter-attacking speed, which Massimiliano Allegri flagged himself, gives them a genuine route to goal.
Napoli to win in the Win Market. They are the home favourites at the Maradona. The projected goals have Napoli ahead by 2.18 to 1.33, and a stronger XI than the one that lost at Venezia backs that up. Our Napoli vs Bodo Glimt best bets side with the hosts finally turning the corner in front of their own supporters.
Napoli vs Bodo Glimt Bet Builder
Our Napoli vs Bodo Glimt bet builder tips combine a Napoli win, Rasmus Hojlund to score anytime, both teams to score and Jostein Gundersen to be shown a card.
Napoli are the home favourites and the projections lean their way. With De Bruyne back to pull the strings, the hosts have enough quality to edge a lively contest.
Hojlund is set to replace Lorenzo Lucca up front after being rested at the weekend. As the lone striker in a 3-4-2-1, he is the man all the service is aimed at.
Both teams scoring fits the whole story. Napoli have been vulnerable all season, and a Bodo front line featuring Hauge and Helmersen carries enough threat to punish them.
Gundersen will spend the night dealing with Hojlund, with De Bruyne and Politano drifting into the spaces around him. A centre-half under that sort of pressure often picks up a booking.
At the time of writing, this bet builder pays a best price of 27/2 and is as short as 12/1 elsewhere.

Napoli vs Bodo Glimt Talking Points
Massimiliano Allegri has called Bodo a "high-level team" and warned that Napoli need technical quality and intensity to cope with their speed on the counter. His line that "Only we can get ourselves out of this" says plenty about the mood in Naples. The Napoli vs Bodo Glimt betting odds have moved too, with Napoli easing since the market opened and the visitors backed in. Bodo are now 4/1 with Skybet, and Kjetil Knutsen's side are not travelling to make up the numbers.
