The Europa Conference League’s last 32 matches between Bodo/Glimt and Ajax are set to take place on Thursday night, with a lot riding on the outcome.
Ajax gained confidence for their next trip to Norway after last week’s reverse match, in which they miraculously rescued a 2-2 draw.

Bodo/Glimt and Ajax: Previous Games
The first match in the Conference League 1/16 finals was Bodo’s chance to have a better result before the rematch in Norway, but he blew it. When the match against Ajax reached the 90th minute, they were up 2-0. However, the advantage was cut in half by Van Den Boomen and then restored by Berghuis, thanks to a penalty kick by Bjortuft and a straight red card.
Considering that the Norwegian club has no competitive matches, they performed well. Even if Ajax aren’t playing their best right now, they still have a shot at making it to the quarterfinals.
This will be one of the worst seasons in Ajax history, as the draw against Nijmegen and loss to Heerenveen proved once again that the club lacks the strength to compete for a top Eredivisie spot this season. Failing to reach the Conference League’s quarterfinals, which may be their last opportunity to go to the Europa League, would be a significant setback. Ajax rode their luck in the first leg to a victory; now they must play somewhat better if they want to repeat the feat.
Probable Bodo Glimt Lineup
Haug; Wembangomo, Moe, Lode, Bjorkan; Gronbaek, Berg, Saltnes; Sorli, Evjen, Hauge
Probable Ajax Lineup
Ramaj; Gooijer, Sutalo, Rensch, Hato; Berghuis, Taylor, Henderson, Forbs; Brobbey, Akpom
Betting tips: Bodo/Glimt x Ajax
Check out our predictions of the day for Bodo/Glimt vs. Ajax
Prediction 1: Bodo/Glimt x Ajax / Ajax to win
Although it is indisputable that goals will be scored in this match, their final points cannot be predicted completely. Even though Ajax has a lot of holes in their defense, they still have the offensive firepower to win the game.
Prediction 2: Bodo/Glimt x Ajax / Over three goals
We should anticipate a high level of offensive play and rhythm in the second match since there were few shots on goal in the first. Four goals or more were scored in seven of Ajax’s eight prior encounters. Three of Bodo’s four preseason matches had four-goal or more scoring affairs. You can wager on more than 2.5 goals, but we’re giving you better odds on more than three goals overall. The bet will be null and invalid if precisely three goals are scored.
Prediction 3: Bodo/Glimt x Ajax / Brian Brobbey to score anytime
The striker for Ajax has been on fire recently, and he has a great knack for scoring when it matters most. His commanding presence and pinpoint accuracy might be a significant problem for Bodo/Glimt’s defense.
