Bodoe/Glimt vs Ajax Prediction 22.02.2024

• Competition: Europa Conference League
• Date: 22.02.2024
• Kickoff: 17:45 UK / 18:45 CET
• Venue: Aspmyra Stadion (Bodø)

In the first match of the 1/16 finals of the Conference League, Bodo failed to capitalize on an opportunity for a better result before the rematch in Norway. They were leading 2-0 against Ajax until the 90th minute. However, a penalty by Bjortuft and a straight red card resulted in Van Den Boomen reducing the lead, followed by Berghuis equalizing the match. Despite currently not playing competitive matches, the Norwegian club performed exceptionally well. They will certainly have an opportunity to compete for the 1/8 finals against Ajax, who are currently not performing at their peak.

Ajax’s loss to Heerenveen and draw with Nijmegen once again highlighted the team’s lack of strength to secure a top spot in the Eredivisie this season, marking it as potentially one of the worst seasons in the club’s history. It would be a significant failure if Ajax doesn’t even make it to the 1/8 finals of the Conference League, which may be their only opportunity to qualify for the Europa League. Ajax was fortunate in the first leg, so they’ll need to play with more strategy to achieve a favorable outcome again.

Bodo/Glimt vs Ajax pick: OVER 3 GOALS

The first game didn’t see many shots on goal, but it was filled with attacking play and rhythm. Hence, we can anticipate the same for the second game. The match would become even more exciting with a goal from either team. In the past, 7 out of 8 Ajax games had 4 or more goals scored, and in Bodo’s 4 preparatory matches, 3 saw 4 or more goals. It’s a given to wager on over 2.5 goals, but here, we’re leaning towards a slightly higher risk on over 3 total goals. If exactly 3 goals are scored, the bet will be nullified.
