Prediction Lazio vs Bodø / Glimt 2024/2025 – Betting Tips for the Europa League on 17/04/2025

The stage is set for an enthralling quarter-final clash in the Europa League as Lazio welcomes Bodø / Glimt to the historic Stadio Olimpico in Rome on April 17, 2025. This match promises a high-tension atmosphere as both teams vie for a place in the semi-finals.

Current Form

Lazio’s recent performances have been a mixed bag. Their last five matches have seen two wins, two draws, and a heavy loss, culminating in a disappointing 1-1 draw against their fierce city rivals, Roma. This result was preceded by a lackluster defeat to the very same Bodø / Glimt just a week prior, where they suffered a 2-0 setback in the first leg of the quarter-finals. This weighs heavily on their shoulders as they must reverse their fortunes at home.

On the other side, Bodø / Glimt has been riding a wave of momentum. Their previous match, a commanding 3-0 victory against HamKam, further solidified their confidence. With a strong showing against Lazio in their last meeting and a well-rounded attacking performance throughout the season, they enter this match with an air of invincibility.

Tactical Analysis

Lazio is known for their attacking style, which has yielded them an average of 13 shots per game; however, their conversion rate and defensive structuring have been suspect recently. They will need to solidify their back line and capitalize on any opportunities against a Bodø / Glimt side that has demonstrated a higher frequency of successful attacks, averaging 98.08 per game compared to Lazio's 105.82.

Bodø / Glimt's recent goal-scoring prowess is notable, scoring consistently across various competitions, and their ability to break down defenses is evident with a significant number of shots inside the box. Expect them to be proactive and create pressure on Lazio's defense.

Head-to-Head Insights

The recent meeting between these two teams didn’t favor Lazio, as they fell short in their attempt during their last clash, leading to a greater psychological advantage for Bodø / Glimt. Numbers suggest that Lazio has struggled in crucial matches while Bodø / Glimt has thrived, making this a daunting task for the home side.

Betting Suggestion

Given that Lazio is currently favored to win with odds of 1.40, their probability stands at a solid 71.43%. However, based on the evidence of recent performances, including their prior matchup, a safer approach may lean towards betting on Bodø / Glimt to win or draw, given their 15.38% probability for an away win and Lazio's recent struggles. A clever bet could be leaning towards both teams to score, considering both squads have shown a propensity for attacking football, making this a potential goldmine for goals.
