UEFA Champions League Prediction: Bodo Glimt – Manchester City (20-01-2026)

After a new calendar year the Champions League is finally back in action. Manchester City finished the year 2026 in the top 8 and this year’s expectations remain the same.

Pep Guardiola’s men ended the year with a bang after beating Real Madrid 2-1 in the Santiago Bernabeu. This was their third win which allowed them to take the 4th place only two points behind the 2nd place.

The only loss in this tournament for the Citizens remains questionable, as they fell against Bayer Leverkusen, while saving their main players for the Premier League. Looks like Man City will keep things busy in the winter transfer market as they have already signed A.Semenyo from Bournemouth, which will create even more depth in the squad.

The fans might raise higher goals in the Premier League. Although the Citizens are 2nd, now they are 6 points behind Arsenal, who look way more consistent.

For the Norwegian side, to play in the Champions League is already an experience of their lives. Bodo Glimt remains without a single win and at this stage are behind the qualification barrier with 3 points.

Surprisingly, they took away points from such teams like Tottenham and Borussia Dortmund, so P. Guardiola must not take this task lightly.

Despite being underdogs in all of their matches, Bodo team refuses to play defensive football and currently has a 9:13 goal difference after 6 games, which is really impressive knowing their position in the table.

We can expect Manchester City to play their new signings in this match which will be hungry to prove themselves to fight for the starting eleven. The Citizens are favourites on most top betting sites, and with Bodø’s attacking style, we could see plenty of goals.
