Bodo/Glimt vs AFC Ajax Amsterdam Prediction and Betting Tips
Bodo/Glimt and AFC Ajax Amsterdam square off at the Aspmyra Stadion in the second leg of their UEFA Europa Conference League knockout-stage playoff on Thursday (February 22).
Both sides know they must win to progress without going to penalties, having played out a thrilling 2-2 draw in last week’s first leg at the Johan Cruijff Arena in Amsterdam.
Bodo/Glimt were left with a bitter taste of what could have been, as they squandered a two-goal lead in stoppage time. Kjetil Knutsen’s men are winless in three competitive games, including a 1-0 to Molde in the NM Cup final on December 9. However, the Glimt have won their last six games at home since October.
Ajax, meanwhile, continue to struggle, coming off a 2-2 draw with NEC Nijmegen in the Eredivisie on Sunday. John van't Schip’s side are winless in four games, losing once since a 4-2 victory over Heracles in January.
