Europe’s elite football heads just north of the Arctic Circle on Tuesday 20 January, as Bodø/Glimt welcome Manchester City to the freezing confines of Aspmyra Stadion for Round 7 of the Champions League league phase. Kick-off is set for 17:45 GMT, with the Norwegian champions facing one of the continent’s most formidable sides.
As of now, City are comfortably among the top seeds while Glimt sit near the foot of the table. Below we analyse the betting markets and explain what each one means for punters in the UK.
Bodø/Glimt vs Manchester City – Betting Odds
This page focuses on the most popular markets: the Bodø/Glimt vs Manchester City betting odds for match result (1X2), double chance, handicaps, both teams to score, total goals and correct score.
The odds below are correct as of the time of writing, courtesy of our bookmakers, but remember that odds could change as kick‑off approaches. Make sure to re-check them before placing your bets.
1X2 Betting Odds
The 1X2 market asks you to pick one of three outcomes at full time: a home win (1), a draw (X) or an away win (2). Shorter odds indicate a strong favourite, whereas longer odds signal an underdog.
| Bodø/Glimt win (1) | Draw (X) | Man City win (2) |
| 13/3 | 4/1 | 2/5 |
Because the 1X2 market doesn’t offer any safety net (there’s no refund if the result you backed doesn’t occur), many punters combine 1X2 picks with other markets to reduce risk.
Manchester City’s extremely short price reflects their dominance in Europe and the gulf between the squads. The Bodø/Glimt vs Manchester City odds here are likely to shorten further if City announce a full‑strength line‑up.
Double Chance Odds
Double Chance betting allows you to cover two results with one bet: 1X pays if the home side wins or draws, 12 pays if either side wins, and X2 pays if the match ends in a draw or an away win. Because you are backing two of the three outcomes, the odds are shorter than in the 1X2 market.
| 1X – Bodø/Glimt or draw | 12 – Bodø/Glimt or Man City | X2 – Draw or Man City |
| 10/7 | 2/13 | 2/15 |
The bookmakers see a draw or City win as highly probable, pricing X2 at a very short 2/15. If you believe Glimt can at least avoid defeat, the 1X selection at 10/7 offers a more generous return. The 12 option eliminates the draw entirely, paying out as long as either team takes all three points.
Handicap Betting Odds
Handicap betting levels the playing field by giving one team a virtual head‑start. You can back either side with a specified goal handicap. In this fixture City are favourites, so bookmakers offer positive handicaps on Bodø/Glimt and negative handicaps on City.
In a –2 handicap, the favourite effectively starts the game two goals behind, so your bet only wins if they succeed by three or more goals. A +2 handicap gives the underdog a two-goal head start. You’re free to personalise the handicap to your liking with different numbers on the match betting page.
| Bodø/Glimt +1.25 | Man City –1.25 |
| 20/23 | 4.5 |
| Bodø/Glimt +2 | Man City –2 |
| 2/5 | 7/4 |

Both Teams to Score (BTTS) Odds
The BTTS market asks whether both sides will score during the match. The result is irrelevant: you only need each team to find the net at least once for a “Yes” bet to win. This wager is popular when potent attacks meet vulnerable defences. The “No” option pays out if at least one side keeps a clean sheet. This covers results such as 1‑0, 2‑0, 0‑0 or 3‑0.
| Yes | No |
| 1/2 | 10/7 |
Given City’s firepower and Glimt’s tendency to concede, it’s unsurprising that bookmakers price Yes at 1/2. A bet on No at 10/7 might appeal if you think City can keep a clean sheet or that Glimt will sit deep and frustrate their visitors.
Goal Total (Over/Under) Odds
Over/Under markets centre on the total number of goals scored. Usually the line is set at 2.5 or 3.5. For example if you bet on over 3.5, it pays out if there are four or more goals, while under 3.5 wins if there are three goals or fewer.
| Over 3.5 goals | Under 3.5 goals |
| 5/6 | 5/6 |
The fractional amounts make sure there is a clear outcome since you can’t score half a goal. You can also choose alternative lines like over/under 1.5, with prices adjusted accordingly.
Correct Score Odds
Correct score betting is high‑risk, high‑reward, because you need to guess the exact final scoreline. Because there are many possible outcomes, the odds are longer than in other markets, but so are the potential returns. These are just examples of some popular scorelines for this match, but you can choose the one you want when placing your bet.
| 0–0 | Man City 1-0 | Man City 2-0 | Man City 2-1 |
| 30/1 | 11/1 | 9/1 | 15/2 |
With this type of bet, you need to consider each team’s attacking power, defensive solidity, recent form and tactical approach. Some bettors cover multiple scorelines with small stakes to spread risk.
