Last Updated on January 19, 2026 12:52 pm by Erwin Noguera

In a David versus Goliath matchup, Bodø/Glimt will look to pull off a shock on Matchday 7 of the Champions League when they host Manchester City.

Bodø are lacking match rhythm, but in their most recent game in this competition, they earned a draw away to Borussia Dortmund (2–2).

Manchester City, meanwhile, closed out their 2025 Champions League campaign with a convincing away victory in Spain over Real Madrid (1–2).

Bodo/Glimt vs. Manchester City Betting Odds and Info

Why Bet on Bodo/Glimt?

Bodø/Glimt are playing their last cards. With just three points, they sit 32nd, four points behind København in 24th place, who currently hold the final playoff spot. They are one of only four teams still without a win, having drawn three matches and lost another three.

All three of their draws ended 2–2: one at home against Tottenham, and two away versus Slavia Praha and Borussia Dortmund. Their home defeats were by the narrowest of margins, losing 0–1 to Monaco and 2–3 to Juventus after a stoppage-time goal.

One of the negatives for the Norwegian side is their lack of competitive rhythm, as they have not played an official match since December 10, which was the game against Dortmund. Their domestic league ended on November 30, a date on which they needed to win and hope Viking lost in order to claim the title, but Viking did not lose and went on to become champions.

They have not made any major signings and have also lost Danish midfielder Mathias Jørgensen, who moved to Blackburn Rovers.

Why Bet on Manchester City?

Manchester City sit fourth in the competition with 13 points after four wins, one draw, and one loss. They have scored 12 goals and conceded six, and are only one point ahead of ninth-placed Liverpool, who for now are heading to the playoffs.

Their most recent match in the tournament was a 1–2 victory over Real Madrid, and away from home, they have recorded two wins and one draw, the latter against Monaco.

They are not in their best form, having gone four Premier League matches without a win, drawing three before losing last weekend’s derby against Manchester United 2–0.

Erling Haaland, the team’s top scorer with 26 goals this season, has gone three matches without scoring, including a game in which City won 10–1 against Exeter in the FA Cup, and he has scored just once—via a penalty—in his last seven appearances.

Pep Guardiola has a long list of absences, including Matheus Nunes, Mateo Kovačić, Savinho, Joško Gvardiol, John Stones, Oscar Bobb, Nico González, and Rúben Dias, all sidelined with injuries, while Bernardo Silva is suspended, and Phil Foden and Omar Marmoush are doubts. In addition, recent signings Antoine Semenyo and Marc Guéhi are not registered for this phase of the competition and will therefore be unavailable.

Final Betting Analysis: Bodo/Glimt vs. Manchester City

Although Manchester City are not going through their best moment and have many players injured, they should not have any trouble defeating a side with a much weaker squad that has played just one official match in nearly two months.

This will be the first meeting between the two teams.

Go for a straight win for Manchester City in the Moneyline. If you bet $100 at -268, you will gain $37 for a total payout of $137.
