We\u2019re particularly confident in both teams finding the net, given their goal output and lack of clean sheets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table><thead><tr><th>OUR PREDICTION<\/th><th>ODDS &amp; BOOKMAKER<\/th><th>CONFIDENCE<\/th><th>WHY WE\u2019RE BACKING IT<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Both Teams to Score: Yes<\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bet365.com\/olp\/open-account?affiliate=365_03841577\">-213 @ Bet365<\/a><\/td><td>\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td><td>Both sides have scored in abundance (Bodo\/Glimt 25 in 12, Sporting CP 17 in 8).

They then overcame Inter Milan in the playoffs, pulling off one of the biggest shocks in the competition\u2019s recent memory, to set up this tie with Sporting CP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sporting CP qualified for the round of 16 automatically, finishing 7th in the group stage after important wins over PSG and Athletic Bilbao.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-potential-match-winner\">Potential Match-Winner<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Kasper Hogh (Bodo\/Glimt)<\/strong> \u2013 With Bodo\/Glimt\u2019s attacking output notably spread, Hogh\u2019s movement and finishing inside the box could be crucial against Sporting\u2019s disciplined back line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-head-to-head\">Head-to-Head<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is the first meeting between these two sides, with no historical reference to draw from in this contest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-bodo-glimt-vs-sporting-cp-prediction\">Bodo\/Glimt vs Sporting CP prediction<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With both teams boasting attacking strengths but only Sporting CP displaying a more robust defensive profile, the edge could go to the Portuguese side in a match likely to feature goals.
