Galatasaray vs Bodo Glimt: prediction & betting odds 22 October 2025

Galatasaray reignited their hopes of reaching the knockout stage with a sensational win over Liverpool, while Bodø/Glimt kept the group wide open after drawing with two of the favourites. Both teams play bold, attacking football, promising an entertaining, end-to-end contest in Istanbul.

Galatasaray bounced back from a 1:5 defeat in Frankfurt with a 1:0 victory over Liverpool, thanks to Victor Osimhen’s decisive penalty. Domestically, the Turkish champions are once again dominant — eight wins and one draw from nine matches, leading the Super Lig by five points. Galatasaray have scored in 22 of their last 23 European home fixtures, and their attacking trio of Mauro Icardi, Leroy Sané, and Victor Osimhen generate an impressive 1.8 xG per match.

The Norwegians have been one of the surprise packages of the Champions League stage — fighting back from 0:2 to draw 2:2 with Slavia Prague and then letting a 2:0 lead slip against Tottenham Hotspur for another 2:2 result. Bodø/Glimt have scored at least twice in ten of their last fourteen European matches and are unbeaten in eight (five wins, three draws). Their away form, however, remains their weak spot: six defeats in their last nine European trips. In the Eliteserien, they sit second with a +28 goal difference, though defensive lapses persist, as they tend to give opponents clear chances in nearly every match.

Galatasaray are formidable at home, unbeaten in 35 straight games in all competitions. Bodø/Glimt will look to respond with their usual attacking intensity, but their defensive fragility could prove costly against such clinical opposition.
