Slavia Prague vs Bodø/Glimt | Football Previews & Free Betting Tips | 17th September 2025

Slavia Prague host Bodø/Glimt on 17 September 2025 in their Champions League group opener — two reigning champions in fine nick. Slavia roll into this after a strong domestic start and a comfortable win over Karviná at the weekend. Bodø/Glimt are absolutely flying in Norway, sticking seven past Kristiansund only a few days back.

Expect the Fortuna Arena to be noisy and packed, with the home ultras in full voice and a decent travelling support from Norway adding colour. Slavia tend to build control from the back in a 4-3-3, using Oscar Dorley to anchor midfield and Lukas Provod breaking lines. Bodø/Glimt are also happy in a 4-3-3, but with more direct thrust — Patrick Berg pulls strings centrally, while Jens Petter Hauge and Ola Brynhildsen attack aggressively from wide.

• Slavia’s dominance with the ball: they average 61% possession, racking up 17+ shots per game, and build pressure through corners (almost 7 per match).
• Bodø/Glimt’s ruthless edge: they’ve smashed in 31 goals in 10 games, with a clear second-half surge pattern (52% of goals after the break).
• Set-piece factor: Slavia net 0.5 per game from dead balls; Bodø/Glimt also chip in with 0.4. This could be a swing area in a tight contest.

Slavia Prague: Doubts — Ivan Schranz (muscle), Dominik Javorček (knee), Ondřej Kričfalusi (knock). Suspended — Tomáš Chorý. Out — Petr Ševčík (ACL, December). David Zima is fit again and strengthens the defence, while Mojmír Chytil should lead the line with Lukas Haraslin and Matej Jurasek wide.

Bodø/Glimt: Doubts — Kasper Høgh, Brede Moe. Ola Brynhildsen is set for a European debut after his move from Molde, while Patrick Berg and Ulrik Saltnes anchor midfield.

Slavia Prague (last 10): 9–1–0. Goals: 29 for, 7 against. They’re unbeaten and tidy at the back — rarely conceding more than once. They spread goals around but are especially strong second half.

Bodø/Glimt (last 10): 9–1–0. Goals: 31 for, 6 against. A dominant run with five games scoring 3+ goals, and they’ve been ruthless at putting away mid-table sides in Norway.

Slavia at home (last 10): dominant, with eight wins, clean sheets in half, and a tendency to run riot once they grab the lead.

Bodø/Glimt away (last 10): seven wins, two draws, one loss — free-scoring with 2+ in most, but vulnerable when forced into a scrap.

Slavia average around 2.1 xG with 0.9 xGA, Bodø/Glimt sit at 2.2 xG and 1.0 xGA. Both create loads, both concede chances — it looks balanced, but high-event.

No competitive meetings between these clubs to date — this is their first clash in UEFA competition, fresh territory for both sets of fans.

Lukas Haraslin (Slavia): Direct winger who chips in with goals and clever movement. His one-on-one ability will be crucial against Bodø’s full-backs.

Jens Petter Hauge (Bodø/Glimt): Creative and dangerous cutting inside from the left, capable of turning a half-chance into a goal. He’s in form and will test Slavia’s back line.

Both sides are rampant domestically and look full of goals. Slavia at home should dictate the tempo, but Bodø/Glimt are lethal on transitions. Hard to split — both scoring feels nailed on.

Prediction: Slavia Prague 2–2 Bodø/Glimt

Main pick: Both Teams to Score — both averaging 2+ goals, both conceding regularly.

Value bet: Over 2.5 Goals — Slavia games go over in 60%, Bodø/Glimt in 62%; shot volume and xG profiles back a lively one.
