Champions League LIVE: Follow All the Action from Nine Huge Matches

Bodø/Glimt are winless in their six meetings with English sides in European competition (D1 L5), although did manage to avoid defeat in the only one to take place in the UEFA Champions League (2-2 v Tottenham on MD2 this season). This will be Manchester City’s first ever game against a Norwegian opponent. None of the last nine English sides to face a Norwegian team away from home in major European competition have lost (W6 D3), with Chelsea in October 2002 the last to lose there (4-2 loss v Viking in the UEFA Cup). Bodø/Glimt have conceded at least two goals in five of their six games against English sides in major European competition (14 in total), including in each of the last four. After losing their final four away games of the 2024-25 UEFA Champions League, Manchester City are unbeaten on the road (W2 D1) in the current edition. Pep Guardiola could win his 25th away game in charge of the Citizens in the competition here (on 24), something only two other managers have done with one side (39 for Alex Ferguson at Manchester United, 30 for Arsène Wenger at Arsenal). Bodø/Glimt have the highest xG against (17.2) of any side in the UEFA Champions League this season. The Norwegian side have also conceded 3+ xG in a match on the most occasions in the competition this term, doing so in four out of their six games. Manchester City have completed 85.9% of their passes under high-intensity pressure in the UEFA Champions League this season; the highest percentage of any team. Indeed, they also have the best overall pass completion rate in the current edition (91%). Erling Haaland has scored in each of his last six UEFA Champions Leage starts for Manchester City. Only one player has ever had a longer run for an English club in the competition, with Ruud van Nistelrooy scoring in eight in a row for Manchester United, between September 2002 and April 2003. Erling Haaland has netted more goals in the UEFA Champions League (55 in 54 games) than all Norwegian teams combined since 2000-01 season (48 in 42 games). The Manchester City striker could become the first Norwegian player to score a goal against a Norwegian side in the competition here. Bodø/Glimt’s Jens Petter Hauge is one of only two players with 15+ completed dribbles (23) and 15+ chances created (15) in the UEFA Champions League this season, along with Bayern Munich’s Michael Olise. Savinho (4.4) and Jérémy Doku (4.4) are both averaging 4+ completed dribbles per 90 in the UEFA Champions League this season; the first time Manchester City have had multiple players do so in a single campaign (min. 300 minutes played) since 2017-18, through Raheem Sterling (4.4) and Leroy Sané (4.1).
