Inter Milan vs Bodo/Glimt Prediction: More goals expected in this cracking tie

Inter Milan have given themselves work to do in the second leg of their Uefa Champions League play-off against Bodo/Glimt on Tuesday at San Siro (20:00 GMT, TNT Sports 1). The visitors hold a 3-1 lead as they look to progress to the round of 16 at the Nerazzurri's expense.

My Inter Milan vs Bodo/Glimt predictions can be found below, as well as the latest team news and match odds.

Team News

Sebastiano Esposito, Marcus Thuram and Ange-Yoan Bonny are Chivu's options to play up front on Tuesday for Inter following captain Lautaro Martinez's calf injury picked up in the first leg.

On a more positive note, Denzel Dumfries is back from a spell on the sidelines and Hakan Calhanoglu and Nicolo Barella should be refreshed after serving bans in Serie A at the weekend.

Given the manner of the defeat in Norway, Chivu may be tempted to make several alterations to his XI on Tuesday night.

Football Odds

Bodo's attackers Kasper Hogh and Jens Petter Hauge have been in good form in this competition, with four and five goals respectively so far. Both were on the scoresheet last week and could play huge roles in this decider.

Kjetil Knutsen has a fully-fit squad at his disposal, which is good news when heading to San Siro.

Inter Milan vs Bodo/Glimt Odds

Inter are seen as the 1/4 favourites to win this game in regulation time despite losing four of their previous five appearances in the Champions League.

Two of Bodo/Glimt's draws during the league phase came on their travels, and the stalemate is priced at 6/1.

The visitors are 17/2 to make it three European victories on the spin, while they are 1/1 (implied probability of 50%) to win the tie.

Both Teams To Score & Total Goals Over/Under 3.5 - Yes & Over @ 5/4

With Bodo/Glimt holding a two-goal advantage coming into this clash in Milan, some people may believe the Norwegian side are about to make history and reach the round of 16 for the first time in their history.

I think it is possible, but I cannot discount a gargantuan effort from Inter on home soil. In terms of the betting, I think this second leg can pick up where the first ended and continue to produce goals.

Both teams were on the scoresheet last week and there was also over 3.5 goals, and this is the market that jumps out to me. For Bodo/Glimt, this has been a successful bet in seven of their nine UCL outings since the start of the league phase, including four of their past five.

For Inter, this bet has landed in two of their last three European fixtures, including one on home soil - a 3-1 defeat to Arsenal. Additionally, this market has struck in each of the Nerazzurri's latest two matches in Serie A.

Anytime Goalscorer - Kasper Hogh @ 23/10

The first goal in this game could be crucial in this tie, whether it falls to Inter or Bodo/Glimt is another matter. However it unfolds, I am confident that the visitors can exploit the hosts's defence again.

For that reason, I like the look of backing Hogh to strike for the Norwegian outfit. He has been in great form in the recent matches of this competition, netting four goals across his past three appearances.

He bagged a brace against Manchester City on home turf before striking at Atletico Madrid in an impressive away victory in January. And his hot streak continued last week in the first leg. It may be a goal that makes history or one that is irrelevant come the end of proceedings, but the price is right for me to back his good run to continue.
