With their Champions League dreams now hanging by a thread, Inter Milan will welcome Bodo/Glimt to the San Siro on Tuesday night.
Inter Milan
Starting with the hosts, while Inter Milan might return to the San Siro on Tuesday night pencilled in as a landslide contender, the Italian icons have an almighty job on their hands. Putting in a worrying European performance last week as they eventually slumped to a 3-1 drumming on foreign soil, Cristian Chivu’s camp have a huge amount of pressure on their shoulders here. However, looking like they will recapture their Serie A crown at a canter in 2026, last season’s Champions League finalists will be excited to make a return to home soil in midweek. Last seen at the San Siro claiming a thrilling 3-2 victory against historic domestic rivals Juventus on February 14th, the former Verona boss has seen his squad win all of their previous three showdowns in front of their own supporters by an aggregate score of 11-5.
Inter Milan Team News
Yet to make a single appearance across any competition since returning from November’s international break, Dutch defender Denzel Dumfries remains on the sidelines with a long-term ankle issue. Likewise, suffering an injury setback and missing out last week, Inter are sweating over the fitness of Turkish skipper Hakan Calhanoglu.
Recording four Champions League strikes this season, attacking talisman Lautaro Martinez will have a leading role to play in the final third. Completing a season-long loan switch from Manchester City last summer, Swiss international Manuel Akanji will start at the heart of Inter’s defence.
Bodo/Glimt
As for the visitors, failing to win any of their first five Champions League group stage appearances, it appeared that Bodo/Glimt were set to watch their European adventure come to a downbeat end last month. However, embarking on what has been nothing short of an iconic resurge, the Norwegian giants have shattered a string of records and they have rightfully received a fearsome reputation from across the continent. Storming their way to an iconic first-leg advantage on home soil last week as they claimed that famous 3-1 victory, Tuesday’s guests are riding a sensational wave of momentum. Signing off their group stage adventure with a 2-1 win away at Spanish heavyweights Atletico Madrid, Bodo/Glimt have now won all of their previous three consecutive Champions League showdowns by an aggregate score of 8-3.
Bodo/Glimt Team News
Ahead of their famous trip to the San Siro on Tuesday night, Bodo/Glimt have reported a clean bill of health and have no fresh injury concerns. Once again finding the net last week and astonishingly now registering six direct goal contributions (four goals, two assists) in his previous three European appearances across all fronts, the red-hot Kasper Hogh will have a leading role to play.
At the heart of everything positive that Bodo/Glimt have produced on their iconic European run, Norwegian international Patrick Berg will start in the middle of the park and should be partnered alongside Sondre Fet.
