Latest team news for Bodo/Glimt vs Juventus
Following Saturday's 1-1 draw with Fiorentina, coach Spalletti hinted at several changes to Juve's starting lineup midweek, emphasizing the need for rotation given the busy fixture schedule.
Vlahovic – the top scorer – may be rested, having only recently returned from an adductor muscle injury sustained while on international duty. This would create an opportunity for Lois Openda and Jonathan David to compete for a starting spot in the attack.
Juan Cabal and Lloyd Kelly have both returned to action, but the Bianconeri are still without Brazilian defender Bremer, while centre-back Daniele Rugani has been ruled out due to a muscle injury.
Bodo/Glimt will be without Jostein Gundersen, who is suspended after receiving a late red card in the match against Monaco.
Reserve striker Ola Brynhildsen is also absent due to a knee injury, but otherwise Knutsen has a full squad.
Having had the weekend off, Jens Petter Hauge is almost certain to start, supporting Kasper Hogh in attack; the former AC Milan winger currently has the most successful dribbles in the Champions League this season (18).

Latest football match prediction: Bodo/Glimt vs Juventus
After two dramatic draws – 4-4 against Borussia Dortmund and 2-2 with Villarreal – Juventus suffered a narrow defeat to Real Madrid in the third matchday; they then failed to beat Sporting Lisbon earlier this month under their new coach.
Despite dominating shots on goal at home, Juve only managed a 1-1 draw with the Portuguese champions, after Dusan Vlahovic equalized late in the first half.
Including the early goal conceded against Sporting in Turin, the Bianconeri have conceded in seven consecutive Champions League matches since January – an average of two goals per game – indicating a serious decline in the team's form.
Looking further back, the two-time European champions have only won two of their last 12 UEFA matches – and just one of their last 12 away games in Europe's top competition.
Furthermore, Juventus had a rather shaky start under new coach Luciano Spalletti, continuing their inability to improve their Serie A form on Saturday in their away match against Fiorentina – the bottom-placed team.
Despite taking the lead thanks to a spectacular strike from Filip Kostic just before halftime, Spalletti's team were held to a disappointing draw at Stadio Franchi, and their dream of competing for the Scudetto is becoming increasingly distant.
Having won only two of their last 13 matches across all competitions – including one under interim manager Massimo Brambilla – Juventus remain mired in crisis.
Meanwhile, the visiting team is participating in the Champions League group stage for the 25th time – a record for Italian clubs – while Bodo/Glimt is just entering its first season, after overcoming Sturm Graz 6-2 over two legs in the play-off round.
However, the team from Bodo are no pushovers in Europe, having reached the semi-finals of the Europa League last season. This Tuesday's match will be their 14th encounter with a Serie A team.
Before hosting Juve for the first time, Glimt was facing the risk of elimination after a 0-1 home defeat against Monaco in the fourth matchday.
That result leaves Kjetil Knutsen's team with only two points – from 2-2 draws against Slavia Prague and Tottenham Hotspur – and they are now winless in seven consecutive European matches (excluding qualifiers).
Another defeat at their Nordic "fortress"—located just outside the Arctic Circle—would equal the club's longest winless streak in Europe and deal a heavy blow to their hopes of finishing in the top 24.
While still searching for the first win by a Norwegian team in the Champions League group stage since Rosenborg did so in 2007, Glimt is at least still in contention for the Eliteserien title: after their 2-1 victory over KFUM Oslo on Friday, they are in close competition with Viking FK for the domestic title.
