Vmfd Zalgiris v Bodoe/Glimt Betting Tips [9 August 2022]

Lithuanian side Zalgiris has an uphill task in trying to overturn a 5-0 defeat to Bodo/Glimt in the third qualifying round of the UEFA Champions League. They will host the return leg but by the magnitude of their first leg loss, there’s really little chance they can proceed in the competition. Zalgiris warmed up for this game with a 2-1 win over Banga in their domestic league, despite playing with 10 men from the 17th minute. The heavy loss to Bodo/Glimt in the first leg is their only loss in the last five matches. Zalgiris have three clean sheets in their last five matches but this will call for more as they’ve scored more than a goal in just two of their last five matches. Previously, Zalgiris have faced off with Bodo/Glimt four times, and they’ve failed to register a win in that run. They have three losses and a draw while they’ve conceded two or more goals in three of the four.

Bodo/Glimt proved really strong in the first leg meeting between these two sides and it is safe to assume they have one foot in the next stage of this competition. They take to this game a really strong run, not only five straight wins, but they’ve also been scoring a lot of goals and keeping many clean sheets. The 7-0 win over Odd in their last game served the fourth clean sheet in their last five matches and the fifth straight game that they scored more than a goal in. Each of their last five matches has produced over 2.5 goals and they’ve conceded just one goal in the process. Bodo/Glimt have played three away matches in the Champions League and have lost all, but here they will be hoping to bring this run to an end. In four of their last five matches, Bodo/Glimt have scored in both halves.

Bodo/Glimt are on a very strong run going into this game. They have been scoring a lot and keeping many clean sheets. While Zalgiris have three clean sheets in their last five matches, they will struggle to add on to them, looking at the visiting team’s form. In Bodo/Glimt’s form, we will back them to win both halves here.
