Twente vs Bodo/Glimt Prediction and Betting Tips | February 13th 2025

Twente will host Bodo/Glimt at De Grolsch Veste on Thursday in the first leg of their 2024-25 UEFA Europa League knockout phase playoffs clash. The home side have hit a rough patch in their domestic assignments of late and will hope they can find better luck elsewhere this week.

They endured a thoroughly underwhelming run of results in the league phase as they went winless in their first six matches including disappointing home defeats to Lazio and Belgian side USG. However, they finished the league phase strongly, beating Malmo and Besiktas in their final two matches to sneak into the top 24 via goal difference.

Bodo/Glimt, on the other hand, impressed in the league phase and narrowly missed out on automatic last-16 qualification due to goal difference. They picked up impressive wins over Portuguese giants Porto and Sporting Braga in their first three matches before beating Besiktas and Maccabi Tel Aviv in their final three to finish ninth in the table.

The visitors will be targeting a favorable first-leg result on Thursday to remain in the tie ahead of the return leg next week.
