Players to Watch
Bodo/Glimt
• Jens Hauge (4 UCL goals) — Their most productive UCL scorer; he’s the one who can turn one touch into a chance.
• Kasper Waarst Høgh (3 UCL goals, 1 assist) — A real box threat; if Bodo are winning duels, he benefits.
• Håkon Evjen (2 assists) — Creative hub; if Inter smother him, Bodo’s chance creation dips.

Internazionale
• Lautaro Martínez (4 UCL goals) — Big-match striker who doesn’t need many looks.
• Marcus Thuram (2 UCL goals, 1 assist) — The connector who makes Inter’s transitions dangerous.
• Hakan Çalhanoğlu (2 UCL assists) — Set pieces and tempo control; he can decide a leg with one delivery.

How Bodo/Glimt Win
• Make the match fast: win second balls, push fullbacks high, and keep Inter running backward.
• Score first. Bodo’s best pathway is forcing Inter to chase and open spaces.
• Be brave with the press but smart with rest defense — Inter punish sloppy spacing instantly.

How Inter Win
• Slow the game down with possession, then accelerate only when the lanes are clean.
• Attack through Lautaro/Thuram before Bodo can set their defensive shape.
• Treat set pieces like gold. One away goal in a first leg can change everything.

Prediction: Bodo will have moments — they always do at home — but Inter’s current form and knockout maturity should carry them through. I see Inter weathering the early storm and landing the cleaner chances late.
