Bodø/Glimt vs Juventus preview, prediction, team news and head-to-head

The hosts are fighting to climb out of the bottom of the table, while the Italian giants are desperate for a win to secure their place in the knockout phase.

Bodø/Glimt are looking confident ahead of this clash, having won three and lost two of their last five matches across all competitions.

Their recent domestic 2-1 victory against KFUM Oslo was important for morale, but their form in the Champions League group stage has been disappointing, with two points from four matches.

Juventus prepare for the clash, looking to claim a victory in Norway. They have secured two wins and three draws in their last five matches.

However, the Bianconeri have struggled in Europe, securing just three points from four Champions League matches. Their last three games in all competitions have ended in a draw, with the recent being a 1-1 draw with Fiorentina at the weekend.
