Bodø/Glimt and Union Saint-Gilloise meet on Tuesday evening at Aspmyra Stadion for the second leg of their Champions League qualifier. With the opening encounter finishing 3-3 on August 4, 2026, the tie remains completely level and qualification is still within reach for both teams. The first leg delivered six goals, a dramatic late equaliser and efficient attacking performances on both sides. Bodø/Glimt return home after extending their unbeaten competitive run at the weekend, while Union Saint-Gilloise arrive following an emphatic victory in their domestic league opener. Those results give both squads positive momentum before a decisive contest in which the attacking numbers once again demand attention.

Bodø/Glimt Recent Form and Key Statistics

Bodø/Glimt rescued a draw in the first leg through Odin Luras Bjørtuft, whose 91st-minute goal completed the scoring at 3-3. The hosts recorded 51% possession and converted each of their three shots on target, underlining how effectively they used their opportunities. They followed that result by beating Vålerenga 2-1 on August 8, preserving their one-point advantage at the top of the Eliteserien standings and extending their unbeaten sequence to 10 competitive matches.
Their latest five-match record contains four victories, one draw and no defeats. Across those fixtures, Bodø/Glimt averaged 3.0 goals scored and only 0.8 conceded per game. Their Champions League campaign currently stands at one draw from one match, with averages of 3.0 goals both scored and allowed after the high-scoring first leg.
The wider trends also point towards regular goalmouth action. Bodø/Glimt have scored at least once in each of their last 12 matches, while 31 of their previous 33 fixtures produced more than 1.5 total goals. In the Champions League, their last nine matches all went above 2.5 goals. There has also been at least one second-half goal in 21 of their last 22 games in this competition and in 31 of their last 33 matches overall. Early action has been equally consistent: their last 24 fixtures featured a first-half goal, including each of their previous 20 home matches. Bodø/Glimt have led at half-time in their last five home games and in nine of their previous 11 matches overall, giving them a strong record of establishing an advantage before the interval.

Union Saint-Gilloise Recent Form and Key Statistics

Union Saint-Gilloise demonstrated their attacking quality during the opening leg, with Raul Florucz scoring twice in the 3-3 draw. He maintained that form at the weekend by finding the net again as his team defeated Westerlo 5-1 on August 8. That was Union Saint-Gilloise’s first victory across their last four competitive away fixtures, but the scale of the result provides encouragement before another important trip.
The visitors are unbeaten in their most recent five matches, recording three wins and two draws. They have averaged 3.0 goals scored and 1.4 conceded during that sequence. As with Bodø/Glimt, their Champions League record this season consists of one draw, with the first leg producing averages of three goals scored and three conceded.
Second-half activity has been a particularly reliable feature of their European matches. At least one goal after the break has been recorded in each of Union Saint-Gilloise’s last 13 Champions League fixtures. They have also avoided trailing at half-time in 30 of their previous 32 matches, a run that suggests they frequently remain competitive through the opening period. However, their away data are less uniform: four of their last 12 matches on the road finished with under 0.5 total goals. Their latest two performances have been very different from that quieter pattern, as the 3-3 draw with Bodø/Glimt was followed by the six-goal match against Westerlo. The immediate challenge is to transfer that recent attacking output into the decisive second leg.

Bodø/Glimt vs Union Saint-Gilloise Match Analysis

The opening encounter established how little separates these teams in the tie. Their head-to-head summary shows two draws from two meetings, with average figures of 1.5 goals scored and 1.5 conceded by Bodø/Glimt. The latest clash was considerably more open than those averages, and both sides have since reinforced their confidence with domestic victories.
Bodø/Glimt enter the return match with the stronger recent defensive average and an unbeaten run stretching across 10 competitive games. Playing at home also brings notable first-half trends: they have repeatedly found themselves ahead by the interval, and every one of their last 20 home fixtures has contained at least one goal before half-time. Their record of scoring in 12 successive matches gives them a clear attacking platform, although conceding three times in the first leg shows the danger posed by the visitors.
Union Saint-Gilloise have equally compelling attacking evidence from their two latest games, scoring three in the first leg and five against Westerlo. Florucz’s three goals across those matches make him an important figure based on the recent results. At the same time, the visitors must contend with a Bodø/Glimt side averaging three goals per game over its latest five outings.
The available win probabilities give Bodø/Glimt a 62% chance of victory, compared with 21% for a draw and 17% for a Union Saint-Gilloise win. However, the level aggregate score means neither team begins the evening with room to protect an advantage. Bodø/Glimt’s persistent home starts, Union Saint-Gilloise’s record of staying level or ahead at half-time, and the strong second-half scoring sequences on both sides create an intriguing contrast. After the six-goal first leg, the central question is whether either defence can impose greater control when the qualification places are decided.
