Galatasaray will look to straighten their place on the Champions League table when they welcome Bodo/Glimt to Rams Park, Istanbul, on Wednesday.

The odds are in favour of Victor Osimhen and his teammates, especially after a shocking victory against English champions Liverpool, on match day 2. 

This Galatasaray vs Bodo/Glimt preview will focus on whether the Turkish league winners have what it takes to win two Champions League matches in succession.

After ensuring a massive 5-1 defeat to Eintracht Frankfurt in match day 1,  Galatasaray  shockingly redeemed themselves through a narrow 1 -0 win against Liverpool.

Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen, who was the hero of the match, scored the only goal of that fixture through a 16th-minute penalty kick.

The Turkish Super Lig winners are currently 21st on the Champions League table, and a win in this fixture will improve their standing on the table.

Meanwhile, Bodo/Glimt have neither won nor lost any game yet in this campaign as they have drawn both of their first two matches.

The Norwegian giants fell short in a thrilling 2-2 draw against Tottenham after leading the English side 2-0 in the 66th minute.

With a 5-2 win away to Sarpsborg in the league, Kjetil Knutsen will look to snap a point when they visit Rams Park.

Okan Buruk will have fewer headaches making his selection for the match as he has his squad almost at full strength. Full-back Wilfried Singo is out with a hamstring strain and is not expected to play.

Last Champions League match hero, Victor Osimhen, will lead the attack with support from experienced players like Leroy Sane and Ilkay Gundogan.

Bodo/Glimt have a couple of players who will not travel to Turkey due to different degrees of injury. Ulrik Saltnes and Ola Brynhildsen are out of the squad, while the manager is still doubting the availability of Daniel Bassi.

Galatasaray vs Bodo/Glimt probable lineups 

Galatasaray (4-2-3-1): Çakır; Sallai, Sanchez, Bardakcı, Jakobs; Torreira, Lemina; Sane, Gundogan, Yılmaz; Osimhen.

Galatasaray vs Bodo/Glimt prediction and betting tips

Galatasaray are clear favourites for this clash, and their super striker is in great form. He scored the only goal against Liverpool before scoring a hat-trick to give the Super Eagles a lifeline towards qualifying for the next World Cup Tournament.

While Bodo/Glimt are also in great form, we don't expect you to bet on Livescorebet for the visitors to keep the home side's attackers from scoring.

Prediction: Galatasaray 2-1 Bodo/Glimt
