Champions League · 3rd Qualifying RoundBodø / Glimt vs Union Saint-Gilloise: Prediction and Odds, Champions League, 11/08/2026
After a breathtaking 3-3 first leg in Belgium, Bodø/Glimt host Union Saint-Gilloise at Aspmyra Stadion on August 11 in the Champions League third qualifying round second leg. The aggregate scoreline means Glimt must win or keep a clean sheet to advance, and bookmakers price the home victory at 1.57.
Projected final score: 2-1
Bodø/Glimt carry a home-attack imperative into this second leg at Aspmyra, where their Arctic fortress has proven inhospitable to European visitors. With the aggregate locked at 3-3, Glimt's 11-game unbeaten run and league-leading domestic form make them credible favourites, and 1.57 reflects genuine value given Union SG's recent defensive fragility across five games.
A three-goal total feels right here: Glimt's attacking intent is undeniable, but the absences of Evjen and Mikkelsen trim their creative ceiling, while Union SG's Florucz and Khalaili ensure the Belgians will threaten on the counter. N/A is well-supported, with both sides having scored in the first leg and neither likely to sit deep enough for a clean sheet.
Match Analysis
Bodø / Glimt enter this second leg at Aspmyra as clear favourites at 1.57, backed by an 11-game unbeaten run and a home-attack imperative after the 3-3 first-leg draw forces them to push forward.
- 11 games unbeaten across all competitions entering this decisive home second leg.
- 41 goals in 16 Eliteserien matches (2.56 per game) reflects elite attacking efficiency.
- 14 goals scored in last 5 fixtures against only 3 conceded underlines dominant recent form.
- Patrick Berg and Jens Petter Hauge both available and both contributed directly in the first leg.
Union Saint-Gilloise arrive in Norway at 4.80 having conceded 12 goals across their last five matches, yet they carry genuine danger through Raul Florucz (first-leg brace) and retained attacker Anan Khalaili in their probable XI.
- Union SG conceded 12 goals in their last 5 fixtures, exposing chronic defensive fragility.
- Travelling to Aspmyra, historically one of the most hostile Arctic venues in European qualifying.
- A draw is insufficient: Union SG must score at least once to avoid elimination on aggregate.
Key point: With key creators Evjen and Saltnes absent for Glimt, both defences under pressure, and the tie level, the double chance covering Bodø / Glimt or a draw offers a measured alternative to the straight home win at 1.57.

Medium confidence
A 4-3-3 versus 3-4-3 clash shapes up as a fascinating tactical duel at Aspmyra. Bodø/Glimt's compact midfield trio, anchored by Patrick Berg, will look to control the tempo, while Union Saint-Gilloise's three-man attack, led by Darius Olaru, threatens on the counter with pace and directness.
Both lineups are carried over from the first leg, giving this second meeting a familiar feel. The key question is whether Bodø/Glimt's wide 4-3-3 shape can pin back Union's wing-backs and limit the supply into their front three, or whether the Belgian side's aggressive 3-4-3 press disrupts the hosts early.
Final thoughts on the predictions for Bodø / Glimt vs Union Saint-Gilloise
Bodø/Glimt's three consecutive wins in domestic play, an 11-game unbeaten run across all competitions, and the fortress factor at Aspmyra make the home win at 1.57 the clear selection. The 3-3 aggregate hands Glimt a simple brief: win and advance. Expect them to do exactly that against a Union side travelling north of the Arctic Circle for the first time. Pick: Bodø/Glimt to win.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the main prediction for Bodø / Glimt vs Union Saint-Gilloise?
Bodø / Glimt to win at 1.57 is the call here. The Norwegians are unbeaten in 11 games and lead the Eliteserien, and with the aggregate level at 3-3, their attacking imperative at a fortress like Aspmyra gives them a decisive home-ground edge over a Union SG side that has conceded 12 goals in its last five outings.
What is the highest odd for Bodø / Glimt to win?
The best available price on a Glimt victory is 1.57. For bettors who want a safety net, a double chance covering both a home win and a draw would reduce exposure significantly, since a goalless draw also sends Glimt through on away goals, making that coverage particularly logical in this tie.
Will there be more or less than 2.5 goals in this match?
With Glimt averaging over 2.5 goals per game in the Eliteserien and the first leg producing a breathless 3-3, the attacking intent from both sides is undeniable. The N/A market looks well-supported: Glimt have scored 14 goals in their last five matches alone, and Union SG's leaky defence offers little resistance.
When and where is Bodø / Glimt vs Union Saint-Gilloise played?
The match kicks off on Tuesday, August 11, 2026 at 18:00 local time (CEST) at Aspmyra Stadion in Bodø, Norway, Glimt's compact and atmospheric home ground that has proven notoriously difficult for visiting European clubs.
Can Union Saint-Gilloise pull off an upset against Bodø / Glimt?
An upset is possible but difficult to execute. Union SG won the Belgian Super Cup and showed resilience by twice coming from behind in the first leg, yet 4.80 reflects the scale of the challenge: visiting Aspmyra with a defence that has conceded 12 in five games is a serious liability in a winner-takes-all environment.
Which alternative market offers the best value?
The standout alternative is Both Teams to Score at N/A. Both sides found the net three times in the first leg, Glimt's attack is in prolific form, and Union SG have scored in each of their last five fixtures. The underlying data strongly supports goals at both ends again.
