Napoli vs Bodo/Glimt prediction 20.10.2026 | Champions League

Napoli started this season under new head coach Massimiliano Allegri, and we can safely say it wasn't a great start. In Serie A, they are 9th place with 10 points from seven rounds and have also lost both of their Champions League games against Arsenal and Villarreal. Last season, they were atrocious in the Champions League and have started similarly this year. Looking at their remaining Champions League schedule, this game is a must-win. Even though they are a favorite by the bookies, this crucial match comes in a very difficult moment for Napoli.

After a 1:0 loss to Venezia, coach Massimiliano Allegri spoke to the media. He said they created a lot, but also made several mistakes. The coach said he understands the frustration, but the only thing they can do right now is to stay calm, work, and improve. "Looking at the results, there may be some concern, but the performances give us confidence," the coach added. 

Bodo/Glimt had an amazing Champions League last season, reaching the 1/8 Finals after eliminating one of the title favorites, Inter. This season, they did great in the Qualifiers, eliminating Royale Union SG and NEC Nijmegen. However, the start in the main phase wasn't great, losing 5:0 to Bayern Munich. Still, they bounced back with a 1:0 win over the German vice-champions, Borussia Dortmund. And in the domestic league, Bodo/Glimt sits at the top with 56 points from 23 rounds, but are level on points with Viking. Generally speaking, Bodo/Glimt looks to be in great form and is surely coming into the game with great momentum. 

In the previous game against Ham/Kam, Ole Blomberg suffered an injury and had nad to leave the field after 45 minutes. At the moment, he is listed as questionable. Moreover, Magnus Riisnaes, August Mikkelsen, and Hakon Evjen should remain sidelined with their injuries
