  • Recommended Bet: Man City to win & both teams to score

Man City lost for the first time in 14 games in their 2-0 Premier League defeat by rivals Man Utd on Saturday, but they have a chance to clear their heads with a Champions League trip to Norway to face Bodo/Glimt.

City have taken 14 points from their first six league phase matches, including wins over Napoli, Borussia Dortmund, Villarreal and Real Madrid, although they dropped points in a draw with Monaco and a home defeat by Bayer Leverkusen.

The Norwegian side have found life tough in this competition this season after losing to Tottenham in the Europa League semi-finals last term.

Bodo/Glimt have picked up draws against Slavia Prague, Spurs and Borussia Dortmund, but lost to Galatasaray, Monaco and Juventus.

Team news

Jostein Gunderse is still suspended for the hosts after being sent off against Monaco, while Haitam Aleesami is out with a hamstring injury.

City will be fielding a weakened line-up in Norway, but mainly through necessity rather than choice.

Nine of the 19 senior outfielders in their Champions League squad are unavailable, with Mateo Kovacic, Ruben Dias, Josko Gvardiol, John Stones, Oscar Bobb, Savinho and Nico Gonzalez all injured, while Bernardo Silva is suspended and new signing Antoine Semenyo is not eligible to play.

Omar Marmoush, Max Alleyne and Phil Foden are available, but Matheus Nunes has not travelled due to illness and academy players Charlie Gray, Divine Mukasa, Stephen Mfuni, Tyrone Samba and Kian Noble have been included in the travelling party.

The stats

The Citizens are unbeaten in three Champions League away games this season and have scored at least two goals in five of their six league phase matches.

There have been at least four goals in five of Bodo/Glimt's six Champions League games.

City have lost only one of their last 14 matches and striker Erling Haaland has scored six goals in the Champions League this season.

Prediction

City might look vulnerable to another upset after their Premier League loss to derby rivals United and with a thin squad travelling to Norway to face Bodo/Glimt.

However, even with their roster filled out with a clutch of talented youngsters, there is enough quality available to Pep Guardiola to get the result he wants in their seventh league phase outing.

Bodo/Glimt are struggling to make the top 24 as they go into this match in 32nd place of the 36 teams with three points from six matches.

City can still call on Erling Haaland and the likes of Nico O'Reilly, Rayan Cherki, Tijjani Reijnders and Rayan Ait-Nouri will be keen to impress, while the return of Omar from the Africa Cup of Nations will be a boost.

Bodo/Glimt have featured in some high-scoring matches in this competition, with only their 1-0 home defeat by Monaco producing under 3.5 goals.

They have scored in all of their other games, so take City to win and both teams to score.
