Club Brugge and Bodo/Glimt will battle for three points in a UEFA Europa Conference League clash on Thursday (December 14th).

The hosts are coming into the game on the back of a goalless stalemate away to KV Mechelen in the Jupiler League over the weekend.

Bodo/Glimt, meanwhile, suffered a 1-0 defeat to Molde in the final of the Norwegian Cup. Fredrik Gulbrandsen scored the match-winner with one minute left in regulation time to help his side successfully defend their cup crown.

Den Gule Horde will turn their focus back to the continent where their last game saw them thrash Lugano 5-2 at home. Club Brugge's last game in the Conference League saw them thrash Besiktas 5-0 away from home.

The respective victories saw both sides book their spot in the knockout rounds. Club Brugge currently lead the way in Group D with 13 points to their name from five games. Bodo/Glimt are three points behind in second place.

Club Brugge vs Bodo/Glimt Prediction

These two sides have booked their spot in the knockout rounds but the result here would determine who finishes in top spot. Club Brugge need only a draw to finish first, while Bodo/Glimt need to win by two goals to advance directly to the round-of-16.

Scoring one goal would be a major feat, much less two, with their hosts having not conceded a goal in almost 11 hours of football across all competitions. However, Glimt's attacking prowess will likely put Ronny Delia's backline to the test.

We are backing the home side to claim a narrow win with goals to be scored at both ends.

Prediction: Club Brugge 2-1 Bodo/Glimt
