Internazionale return to home turf eager to overturn a recent shock loss against Bodo/Glimt, with both sides seeking to assert their Champions League credentials.
After Bodo/Glimt’s 3-1 triumph just days ago, all eyes are on whether Inter’s defensive organisation and ball control can outmanoeuvre the visitors’ attacking verve.
Kick-off is set for 3:00 PM ET on Tuesday, 24 February at San Siro – a crucial night for both clubs as the knockout drama intensifies.
Best Bets & Predictions
| Our Prediction | Odds & Sportsbook | Confidence | Why We’re Backing It |
|---|---|---|---|
| Over 2.5 Goals | -300 @ Bet365 | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Both sides have seen a high volume of chances. Bodo/Glimt are converting at a strong rate (15 big chances scored, 23 goals in 9 games). Their last meeting saw 4 goals, and with both boasting attacking quality but defensive frailties, over 2.5 goals looks a strong bet. |
| Both Teams To Score – Yes | -150 @ Bet365 | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Inter have conceded in five of their last nine, and Bodo/Glimt keep just one clean sheet in that span. Both have the pace and creativity to trouble each other – their last game ended 3-1, and BTTS has landed often when Glimt play away from home at this level. |
Odds correct at the time of writing.
Season Form & Standings
Both sides took contrasting paths to the play-offs. Inter’s campaign was built on a strong defence that conceded just seven goals, securing them 10th place with 15 points as they narrowly missed out on the top eight. Their disciplined structure and efficient attack made them a formidable opponent, with five wins and no draws. Bodo/Glimt, meanwhile, reached this stage through sheer attacking firepower in the latter stages of the league phase, scoring 12 goals in their last five European ties. Their chaotic, high-scoring games saw them finish 23rd with 9 points.

Potential Match-Winners
•Lautaro Martínez (Internazionale): A proven big-game player, Martínez has an eye for goal and averages strong involvement in key attacking moves. His ability to get shots away inside the box and draw defenders could be crucial for Inter’s attack.
•Marcus Thuram (Internazionale): Thuram brings pace and directness, often providing the link-up play and movement that stretches defences, opening up space for teammates.
•Jens Hauge (Bodo/Glimt): Leads the Glimt line with intelligent movement and quick feet; tends to find space in the penalty area, making him a consistent threat for Inter’s back line.
•Kasper Høgh (Bodo/Glimt): A physical presence up front, Høgh is adept at converting headed opportunities and could exploit Inter’s rare lapses at set pieces.
Head-to-Head: Last Meeting
These sides have met just once in official competition, with Bodo/Glimt seizing a 3-1 home win in the first leg last week.

Internazionale vs Bodo/Glimt prediction
Will Inter’s technical control and defensive structure be enough to overturn their first-leg deficit, or can Bodo/Glimt’s attacking momentum deliver another upset? The numbers suggest goals are likely, but Inter’s home advantage and experience should tell. For those looking to get involved, Over 2.5 Goals at -300 with Bet365 is our standout pick for Tuesday night.
