Bodø/Glimt – Lille Preview – Can Lille stop the bleeding?
Our Bodø/Glimt vs Lille betting tips start with a simple observation: neither side keeps the ball out of its own net for long right now. Kick-off is on 3 November 2026 at 20:00 GMT, and the Champions League night in Bodø promises plenty of action.
Lille arrive after a 1-0 win over Lens, with Olivier Giroud settling it late. That is a nice story at home. In Europe it has been grim: a 0-3 defeat at Arsenal, then a 2-4 home loss to Galatasaray. Seven goals conceded in two games is not a record you want to carry to a ground where the home crowd smells blood.
Glimt come in with a 3-2 win over Viking in Eliteserien. It was messy and eventful, with their manager Kjetil Knutsen and Viking’s Morten Jensen both sent off before the break. Whether Knutsen is on the touchline in midweek is something to check before kick-off.
Their Champions League month has been just as open: a 1-0 win against Dortmund, then a 3-4 defeat to Napoli. Glimt are slight favourites, and their attacking appetite gives them the edge.
Bodø/Glimt – Lille Betting Tips
Betting Tip: Bodø/Glimt to win
Glimt scored three in their latest win, and goals are rarely a problem for them. Lille have shipped seven in two Champions League outings and now travel a long way to face a side that presses and runs. A narrow edge is enough for us: the home side’s attack should be able to exploit a back line that has been stretched in Europe. This is our main tip.
Betting Tip: Over 3.5 goals
This is the higher-variance pick, but the evidence supports it. Glimt have recently been involved in 3-2 and 3-4 games, and Lille lost 2-4 to Galatasaray. Both defences have been giving up chances, and both attacks have been taking them. With the game likely to be open, four or more goals is a realistic outcome.
You can place both bets and check the latest match odds on the sportsbook before kick-off.
What to expect
Expect an open game. Glimt play on the front foot, and even when they lose they tend to score. Lille have the quality to hurt them too, as Ethan Mbappé’s goal at Monaco showed, but their defence has looked brittle against sides that attack them with pace. Lille also finished that Monaco game with ten men after Tanguy Nianzou’s red card, so check the team news for his availability.
