Bodoe/Glimt v GNK Dinamo Zagreb Betting Tips [16 August 2022]

Some teams are great at home but just can't get results on the road. That's the case with Bodo/Glimt who have an amazing home record in European competition but continually disappoint on their travels. They host Dinamo Zagreb in the first leg of this Champions League play-off round tie. That's one reason why they have never qualified for the group stages of the Champions League. Last season saw them get to the quarter finals of the Europa Conference League and it was their home form that took them that far. The Norwegians have won 12 successive European home ties since losing to Legia Warsaw last season. In those 12 matches, they have scored at least twice in all but one game. This season.two home games against Linfield and Zalgiris have seem them score 13 goals without reply. However, only one of their last 11 on the road has been won, so they need a good lead to take to Zagreb for the second leg. They are second in their domestic league and haven't lost at home since June 2021.

Dinamo Zagreb last made it into the Champions League group stages in 2020/21. Since then, they have lost in the third qualifying round and last season, the play-off round to Sheriff. They have beaten Shkupi and Ludogorets Razgrad to be one tie away from reaching the group stages. Both of their away games have been won this season but three of the last seven have been lost and only one clean sheet in the last four. Keeping Bodo/Glimt out doesn't look an easy task for them. Zagren have made a good start to the Croatian league with four wins and a draw taking them clear at the top of the table. Go for a home win here but it might not be as conclusive as the previous two Bodo/Glimt home games.
