The Matchday 4 clash in the 2025/26 Champions League group stage between Bodo/Glimt (Norway) and Monaco (France) will take place on November 4 at the Aspmyra Stadium. Bodo/Glimt vs. Monaco: prediction and betting odds, statistics.
Bodo/Glimt
After two draws in the opening rounds with an identical score of 2-2, Kjetil Knutsen's team suffered a 1-3 away defeat to Galatasaray in their last match. The team's winless streak in the Champions League has reached four matches, although the Norwegians have scored in each of these games. Moreover, they have found the net in 15 of their last 16 matches in this tournament. However, Bodo/Glimt have conceded at least twice in four consecutive Champions League games. In the standings, the club occupies the 26th position.
- Both teams scored in 6 of the last 8 matches in the Champions League.
- At home, the Norwegians have won 8 of their last 9 Champions League games (1 draw).
- In their last 5 home matches in this tournament, the Scandinavians have scored at least two goals.
Predicted lineup for Bodo/Glimt (4-3-3)
Nikita Haikin – Fredrik Sjøvold, Odin Bjørtuft, Brede Moe, Fredrik Bjørkan – Patrick Berg, Sondre Fet, Hakon Evjen – Sonnre Auklend, Jens Petter Hauge, Kasper Heg.
Defender Haitam Aleesami, midfielder Ulrik Saltnes, and forward Ola Brynhildsen are injured.
Monaco
Things are not going well for the French side either. In the last round, the team shared points at home with Tottenham (0-0), extending their winless streak in the Champions League to six matches (3 draws, 3 losses). However, it is worth noting that this was the first time in this stretch that Monaco kept a clean sheet. After three consecutive matches with goals, Monaco left the field without scoring. Sebastien Pocognoli's side, with two points, occupies the 27th spot in the overall standings.
- The club conceded first in 5 of their last 6 Champions League games.
- Away from home in this tournament, the French have not won in 6 of their last 7 matches (3 draws, 3 losses).
- Monaco scored in 7 of their last 9 away Champions League games.
Predicted lineup for Monaco (3-4-3)
Philipp Köhn – Thilo Kehrer, Mohammed Salisu, Caio Henrique – Mamadou Coulibaly, Jordan Teze, Aleksandr Golovin, Kassoum Ouattara – Takumi Minamino, Folarin Balogun, Mika Biereth.
In the team's infirmary are goalkeeper Lukas Hradecky, defenders Vanderson, Eric Dier, Christian Mawissa, as well as midfielders Krépin Diatta, Denis Zakaria, Paul Pogba, and Lamine Camara, and forward Ansu Fati.

Bodo/Glimt vs. Monaco: Match Prediction
In the upcoming match, the Norwegians have a right to expect points. The team achieves most of its international success on home soil. The Scandinavians are unbeaten in 9 Champions League matches at home (8 wins, 1 draw). Yes, a significant portion of these matches relates to the qualification rounds, but already in the main round of the current Champions League edition, Kjetil Knutsen's team at home thrashed Sturm (5-0) and took points from Tottenham (2-2). The club's excellent scoring ability will also be an additional success factor against their next opponent.
In the last round, the French team kept a clean sheet for the first time in 6 recent Champions League games. However, away from home, the team conceded at least twice in 6 of their last 7 matches in this tournament. Clearly, with such an unreliable defense, gaining points is very difficult. Therefore, Monaco remains winless in 6 Champions League games, and away, Monaco has lost 3 of their last 4 matches in this European competition (1 draw).
My prediction: Bodo/Glimt will not lose and Total over 1.5 goals
