Nice vs Bodo/Glimt prediction: Another disappointment for the hosts
Key stats
- Bodo/Glimt have gone over 2.5 total goals in nine of their last 10 matches across the board.
- Nice are winless in the Europa League this season, with two draws and five losses.
- Bodo/Glimt have won four of their seven matches in the Europa League so far.
Correct score prediction: Nice 1-2 Bodo/Glimt
While Nice have done well lately in other competitions, their results in the Europa League have been abysmal and with nothing to play for except honour, we don't see them matching the intensity and desire that the guests will bring as they fight for a Top 8 finish.

*Odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
It is clear from these Nice vs Bodo/Glimt odds that the bookies don't have a clear favourite in this match, although the hosts are the expected winners by a small margin.
This is understandable since Nice are in solid form lately and will host the game, while Bodo/Glimt aren't playing competitive matches outside of Europe. On the other hand, Nice are already out of the Europa League, while Bodo/Glimt are fighting for a better position ahead of the knockout stages.

Bodo/Glimt preview: Chasing their place in Round of 16
Ahead of the final round of the Europa League group phase, Bodo/Glimt sit in 10th place in the standings with 13 a points and a win in their final match could see them secure a spot in Top 8 and avoid the first knockout stage. Bodo/Glimt will have a disadvantage since they're not playing competitive football in their domestic league, which has ended with Bodo/Glimt as the champions.
Meanwhile, Gaute Vetti, Daniel Bassi, Syver Skeide, and Samuel Burakovsky remain on the sidelines with injuries.
Predicted lineup: Haikin (GK), Sjovold, Gundersen, Bjortuft, Bjorkan, Evjen, Berg, Saltnes, Hauge, Hogh & Maatta

Player to watch: Kasper Hogh
The 24-year-old forward has scored three goals in the Europa League for Bodo/Glimt and he's their top scorer in this competition, along with his colleague from midflied Hakon Evjen. With Bodo/Glimt pushing for a spot in the Round of 16 without having to go through the knockout playoffs, they'll need Hogh to be on top of his game against Nice.
