Bodo/Glimt is coming into this match playing in good form in their recent matches. They have won 2 of their last 3 as well as 5 of their last 7 matches, but a lot of those have been against weaker teams in their domestic league. They actually have 2 losses in their last 4 matches and they are coming off of a 4-1 loss in their last match. Both of their losses in that span were away from home and they have been much better at home recently, but they also have a lot of injuries as well. They are going up against a Porto side that has been in great form in their recent matches. They have won their last 2 straight as well as 17 of their last 18 matches going back to last season. Their defense has been great as they have only allowed 3 goals in their last 6 matches, keeping 4 clean sheets in that span, and their attack has also been on fire as they have scored at least 2 goals in 14 of their last 15 matches. When playing away from home, they have won 3 of their last 4 matches with their only loss coming against Sporting CP who won the league title last season. Other than that 1 loss to Sporting, Porto has won their other 2 away matches in their league by a combined score of 5-0. Porto has a lot more quality in their squad than Bodo/Glimt does and this is a competition that Porto really has a good chance of winning this season considering the strength of the field. Porto will be pushing to get off to a good start here and they have far more quality on their side to get the full 3 points. Porto will win this match and collect all 3 points here.
