TEAMS PREVIEW

Atlético Madrid Preview

Atletico Madrid approach this big Champions League match against Bodø/Glimt in 12th place. They have 13 points from their first seven games. Simeone’s team average 2.29 goals per game in Europe this season. They have scored 16 times in total.

This shows they are playing a more attacking style compared to previous years. But it is also riskier. This attack has defensive issues. The team have conceded 13 goals so far. That is about 1.86 goals per match. These stats show a team that create many chances. However, they often leave gaps at the back. This makes the "Over 2.5 Goals" bet look good for anyone watching their European form.

Recent games show better defence, but their European numbers tell a different story. Atletico Madrid scored seven times in their last five matches. They conceded just three. They kept clean sheets against Mallorca, Deportivo Alaves, and Deportivo La Coruna.

They lost 1-2 to Real Madrid recently. That was their only loss in this run. Before that, they had a solid run. This included a 1-1 draw at Galatasaray. The team enter this match with confidence, but they must change their attack.

Antoine Griezmann is out with a muscle injury. He will return in early February 2026. The other forwards must step up without him. They need to keep scoring goals like they have done in the Champions League so far. 

Atlético Madrid (4-4-2): Jan Oblak - Marcos Llorente, Marc Pubill, David Hancko, Matteo Ruggeri - Giuliano Simeone, Pablo Barrios, Koke, Thiago Almada - Alexander Sørloth, Julián Álvarez.

Bodø/Glimt Preview

Bodø/Glimt sit in 28th position. They have one game left. This is a big moment. Only a win can keep their playoff hopes alive. The Norwegian team has struggled to defend in Europe this season.

They conceded 14 goals in seven games. That is an average of 2.0 goals per game. However, they also score goals. They have scored 12 times. That averages 1.71 goals per match. These stats show an entertaining team, but they lack the defence to win tight European games.

Their current form is better. The team come into this match with scoring confidence. Knutsen's team scored 18 goals in their last five games. They allowed only four. They beat Manchester City 3-1. They also drew 2-2 at Borussia Dortmund. They also beat other teams easily.

They won 4-0 against FC Groningen. They also won 5-0 against Fredrikstad. The squad seems fully fit. There are no major injuries. They have the attack to trouble any defence. This game will test their attack against a Spanish team. 

Bodø/Glimt (4-3-3): Nikita Haikin - Fredrik Sjøvold, Odin Lurås Bjørtuft, Jostein Gundersen, Fredrik André Bjørkan - Håkon Evjen, Patrick Berg, Sondre Brunstad Fet - Ole Blomberg, Kasper Waarts Høgh, Jens Petter Hauge.

ATLéTICO MADRID vs BODø/GLIMT
Winning Prediction

Both teams concede goals but score often. Atletico Madrid have a better squad and home advantage. They should win this high-scoring game. A 3-1 score seems likely. The hosts can exploit Bodø’s weak defence. A good bet is an Atletico Win combined with over 3.5 Goals.
