Match Preview
Inter return to the San Siro needing a big European night after a shock first-leg defeat in Norway. Bodø/Glimt lead the tie 3-1 on aggregate, which means Inter must chase the game from the first whistle while the Norwegian champions can play with freedom, belief, and a clear plan.
The first leg was one of those results that instantly becomes a headline. Bodø/Glimt punished mistakes, attacked with conviction, and took their chances to earn a two-goal cushion. Inter had spells of control, but the home side’s energy and transitions decided the night. Now the script flips: Inter have the crowd, the stadium, and the pressure of expectation. Bodø/Glimt have the advantage and the dangerous ability to strike on the break.
Inter’s approach should be aggressive but smart. They need goals, yet they can’t allow the tie to become chaotic. Expect a higher tempo, more bodies in advanced zones, and heavy pressure after turnovers. The risk is obvious: leave space behind the full-backs and Bodø/Glimt’s runners can turn one counter-attack into a decisive away goal.
For Bodø/Glimt, the mission is simple: stay compact, survive the early wave, and use the moments when Inter over-commit. Even one goal could force Inter into a near-impossible task. If the visitors keep the match tight into the last half hour, nerves may do the rest.
First Leg Recap
Bodø/Glimt 3-1 Inter was the result that changed everything. The Norwegian side combined sharp movement with ruthless finishing, while Inter were left regretting key defensive lapses. A two-goal deficit in a European play-off is never comfortable—especially against a team playing with this much confidence.

The market heavily backs Inter at home. But the tie situation matters: Bodø/Glimt don’t need to win the match—they need to protect a two-goal advantage across 90 minutes (or longer).
Key Talking Points
1) Inter’s early goal hunt
If Inter score early, the stadium wakes up and the tie becomes emotional fast. If they don’t, frustration can creep in—and that’s when counters become deadly.
2) Bodø/Glimt’s counter-attacking threat
With Inter pushing numbers forward, the visitors will look for quick releases into space. One away goal would force Inter into a mountain of work.
3) Game management and set pieces
Second legs often turn on corners, free kicks, and small errors. Inter will target set pieces. Bodø/Glimt will target transitions right after them.
Prediction
Final Score Prediction: Inter 2-0 Bodø/Glimt
Prediction: Inter to win in 90 minutes.
How it plays out: Inter should control territory and create sustained pressure at San Siro. Bodø/Glimt will defend deep and look to counter. A 2-0 home win would level the tie on aggregate and makes extra time a very real possibility.
General angles: Inter to win; Under 3.5 goals (always consider live game state). Bet responsibly.
