Sporting vs. Bodo Odds
Sporting vs. Bodo Game Preview
If Sporting advances to the next stage, it will be one of the greatest UCL comebacks ever. A three-goal deficit looks like a mountain to climb, but the hosts have nothing to lose and have to go for it all.
This team has 7 wins in a row at Jose Alvalade, which boosts their morale ahead of this clash, yet some injuries are causing huge problems for the Lions. Pedro Goncalves is out, as well as Geovany Quenda. Though we have to add that, regardless of this, head coach Rui Borges will have to attack right from the start.
We can say that Bodo’s run is one of the biggest UCL Cinderella stories in the last few decades. This team is the biggest story in European football right now. After taking down Manchester City, Atletico Madrid, and Inter Milan in the UCL play-off, Kjetil Knutsen’s boys are after another sensation.
Jens Petter Hauge with 6 and Kasper Høgh with 5 goals lead the way for the Norwegian unit. These two formed a dynamic duo that punishes rivals with counterattacks; for instance, Inter learned that the hard way in the previous round.
Sporting vs. Bodo Head to Head
There was only one game between these two sides, which took place last week when Bodo trashed Sporting 3-0.
Sporting vs. Bodo Predictions
Bodo beat both Benfica and Porto in the UEFA Europa League last year, so they are after another Portuguese scalp now. The best possible pick here would be over 2.5 goals, because Sporting has nothing to wait for and has to go out firing right away.
