Bodo/Glimt
After two 2-2 draws in the opening rounds, Kjetil Knutsen's side suffered a 1-3 away defeat to Galatasaray in the last match. The team's winless streak in the Champions League has reached four matches, although the Norwegians have scored in each of these games. Moreover, the Scandinavians have found the net in 15 of their last 16 matches in this tournament. However, Bodo/Glimt has conceded at least twice in four consecutive Champions League games. In the standings, the club occupies the 26th position.
- Both teams scored in 6 of the last 8 matches involving the team in the Champions League.
- The Norwegians have won 8 of their last 9 home games in the Champions League (1 draw).
- In their last 5 home matches in this tournament, the Scandinavians have scored at least two goals.

Defenders Haitam Aleesami, Jostein Gundersen, and midfielder Magnus Rysnes are injured.
Monaco
Things are not going well for the French side either. In the last round, the team drew 0-0 at home with Tottenham, extending their winless streak in the Champions League to six matches (3 draws, 3 losses). However, it is worth noting that for the first time in this stretch, Monaco kept a clean sheet. After three consecutive matches with goals, Monaco left the field without scoring. Sebastien Pocognoli's men, with two points, are in 27th place overall.
- The club conceded first in 5 of their last 6 games in the Champions League.
- In this tournament, the French side has not won in 6 of their last 7 away matches (3 draws, 3 losses).
- Monaco scored in 7 of their last 9 away matches in the Champions League.
Predicted lineup for Monaco (3-4-3)
Philipp Köhn – Thilo Kehrer, Mohammed Salisu, Caio Henrique – Krépin Diatta, Jordan Teze, Aladji Bamba, Kassoum Ouattara – Takumi Minamino, Folarin Balogun, Magnes Akliouche.

Bodo/Glimt vs. Monaco: Match Prediction
In the upcoming match, the Norwegians can expect to earn points. The team achieves its main successes on the international stage at home. They are unbeaten in 9 consecutive Champions League matches at home (8 wins, 1 draw). Yes, a significant portion of these matches were in the qualifying rounds, but in the main round of the current Champions League campaign, Kjetil Knutsen's team at home thrashed Sturm (5-0) and took points from Tottenham (2-2). Their scoring ability is excellent, which will be an additional factor in their success against their next opponent.
In the last round, the French team kept a clean sheet for the first time in 6 recent Champions League matches. However, away from home, they have conceded at least twice in 6 of their last 7 matches in this tournament. Clearly, with such an unreliable defense, it is very difficult to earn points. Therefore, Monaco remains winless in 6 Champions League games, and away from home, they have lost 3 of their last 4 matches in this European competition (1 draw).
My prediction: Bodo/Glimt will not lose and Total over 1.5
