Over/under soccer predictions for major leagues

Bodø/Glimt hosts Twente at the Aspmyra Stadion in Bodø in a match from the Europa League playoffs. One of these two teams will reach the competition’s 1/8-finals, and Twente have a small advantage of one goal. Let’s preview it in our Over/under soccer predictions for major leagues.

Twente won the first leg in the Netherlands – 2-1. The game was about to end with a draw, but Ricky van Wolfswinkel scored a late winning goal in the 95th minute of the match. Before that Ltaief opened the score for Twente but Patrick Berg equalised for the Norwegians.

Bodø/Glimt needs to be clinical in attack in order to eliminate Twente. Players like Høgh, Blomberg and Hauge have to be as dominant as possible in attack because they didn’t have the best game in Enschede last week. At the same time Patrick Berg is the leader of the midfield and he showed it in the previous game – he scored Bodø/Glimt’s only goal in the match.

Twente’s manager Joseph Oosting typically uses a 4-2-3-1 formation with the veteran Ricky van Wolfswinkel at the top of the attack. Ltaief, Steijn and Rots usually start from behind while Sadliek and Vlap are operating in midfield.

Twente are aware that they should not drop in deep defending in the second leg, trying to protect their lead. This could be a dangerous approach to the game as it’d give Bodø/Glimt the initiative. And sometimes that’s not ending well. Scoring one or two goals would be vital for Twente as long as they can do it.

That’s the Over/under soccer predictions for major leagues for the Europa League playoff match between Bodø/Glimt and Twente. The Dutch side have an advantage from the first leg, but here the Norwegians are having the chance to play at home. Let’s see if they can use this as their advantage.
