Bodo/Glimt vs Inter Milan predictions: Martinez to make the difference in Norway

Bodo/Glimt won their last two league phase games to make the knockout play-off round
Inter Milan finished 10th in the standings despite winning five matches
Recommended bet: Lautaro Martinez to score anytime
Bodo/Glimt were on the verge of elimination from the Champions League after six matches.
With games against Manchester City and Atletico Madrid remaining, it looked unlikely that they would make the play-off round.
Instead, the Norwegian side won 3-1 at home to City before defeating Atleti 2-1 in Madrid.
Inter Milan won five group stage matches, but agonisingly finished just one point out of automatic progression to the last 16.
The Serie A side now face a trip to the Arctic Circle on Wednesday evening as they look to come away with a crucial victory.

Team news
This will be Bodo/Glimt's first competitive game in nearly three weeks, but their squad is at full strength ahead of this clash.
Inter have played four games since their previous Champions League match and the Italian side will be missing Dutch defender Denzel Dumfries, who is suffering from an ankle injury.
Carlos Augusto could be in line for a start, having returned to the team for the victory over Juventus at the weekend.
Aside from that, Cristian Chivu has a near full strength squad to choose from.
The stats
Bodo/Glimt and Inter have met twice before in European competition, although you have to go back nearly 50 years.
The clubs played each other in the round of 16 during the 1978-79 European Cup Winners’ Cup, when Inter won 5-0 at the San Siro, before sealing a 2-1 win away from home.
Inter have visited Norway only once for a competitive match since then, drawing 2-2 with Rosenborg in 2022.
Chivu will be counting on Lautaro Martinez to make the difference in Norway on Wednesday.
The Argentinian has scored four Champions League goals this season.
Overall, he has 25 goals in this competition for Inter, which means he sits behind just three players regarding the most goals scored for the Italian giants in the Champions League.
With 18 goals across 34 matches in all competitions this term, the 28-year-old is in superb form heading into this match.

Prediction
Bodo/Glimt demonstrated in their previous two games against Atletico and Man City that they can shock the best teams in the competition.
However, will a three-week break between fixtures prove to be a help or a hindrance, especially as Inter approach this game in excellent form?
Martinez could be the key man for Inter. He is the top scorer for his club in the Champions League this season and another goal or two surely wouldn’t go amiss against Bodo/Glimt.
The Norwegian side will certainly be stubborn opponents, especially at home, but the Serie A leaders should emerge victorious from the first leg.
There could be plenty of goals in this clash, with Martinez expected to get on the scoresheet.
