Norwegian champions Bodoe/Glimt are set to host English giants Manchester City in a Champions League clash during the 2025/2026 season. The match pits a side currently struggling for a league-phase victory against one of Europe's powerhouses, looking to solidify their position in the competition.
Bodo/Glimt vs Man City Form and Head to Head Record
Bodoe/Glimt enter this Champions League fixture sitting 32nd in the overall group standings with just three points, still searching for their first win in the league phase. Their recent form in European competition has seen them draw one and lose two of their three home Champions League matches, conceding six goals while scoring four. While they've enjoyed comfortable victories in recent Club Friendlies, beating Diosgyori VTK 4-1 and FC Groningen 4-0, their last Champions League outing saw them draw 2-2 away at Borussia Dortmund, a testament to their attacking spirit. However, their last home Champions League game ended in a 3-2 defeat to Juventus. Domestically, they've shown better form, including a dominant 5-0 win over Fredrikstad in the Eliteserien.
Manchester City, on the other hand, arrive in Norway in fourth place in the Champions League group standings with 13 points, having secured four wins, one draw, and one loss from their six matches. Their away form in the Champions League has been particularly strong, with two wins and one draw from their three road games, scoring six and conceding three. While they recently suffered a 2-0 Premier League defeat to Manchester United, they bounced back with a 2-0 League Cup victory away at Newcastle. A thumping 10-1 FA Cup win against Exeter and consecutive 1-1 draws against Brighton and Chelsea in the Premier League highlight a mixed bag of results domestically, but their European campaign remains largely on track.
There is no recorded head-to-head history between Bodoe/Glimt and Manchester City in the provided data, making this their first competitive encounter.

Bodo/Glimt vs Man City Team News
Bodoe/Glimt face some defensive challenges, with Jostein Gundersen suspended after a red card and Haitam Aleesami sidelined due to a hamstring injury. Despite these absences, the Norwegian side is expected to maintain their high-tempo, attacking style of play. Jens Petter Hauge will be a key figure, having led the team with three Champions League goals and impressing with his dribbling and chance creation. However, their underlying defensive numbers are a concern, having conceded the highest expected goals against (17.2) in this season's Champions League and allowing over 3.0 xG in four of their six matches.
Manchester City's squad depth will be tested, as they contend with a significant injury list. John Stones, Rúben Dias, Josko Gvardiol, Oscar Bobb, Mateo Kovačić, Savinho, and Matheus Nunes are all injured, while Bernardo Silva is suspended. Phil Foden remains a doubt for the fixture. Despite these setbacks, Pep Guardiola is still expected to field a strong, possession-dominant starting eleven. Erling Haaland, who has scored in each of his last six Champions League starts, will lead the line, looking to continue his relentless scoring form. City's ability to control the game under pressure, boasting an 85.9% pass completion rate under high intensity, will be crucial.
Who are the betting favourites for Bodo/Glimt vs. Man City
Bodo/Glimt vs Man City Match Prediction
Aspmyra Stadium, with its distinctive atmosphere, will undoubtedly provide a challenging backdrop, but Bodoe/Glimt face a monumental task. They are yet to secure a league-phase victory this Champions League season and are on the brink of elimination, although their spirited 2-2 draw away at Borussia Dortmund showcased their attacking bravery.
Manchester City, fresh off an impressive 2-1 victory over Real Madrid at the Bernabéu, arrive firmly in control of their European destiny. Despite an extensive injury list, Pep Guardiola's side is expected to exert their usual control, dominating possession and suffocating their opponents with their unmatched passing accuracy under pressure. Erling Haaland's prolific form further tips the scales, making him a constant threat.
While Bodoe/Glimt's refusal to sit back could lead to an open contest, City's superior quality and Haaland's clinical finishing are likely to prove too much. We predict a comfortable away victory for Manchester City, with a predicted score of Bodoe/Glimt 1-3 Man City.
