It’s a big night in Europe as Bodø/Glimt welcome AS Monaco on November 4, 2025, in what promises to be a high-intensity Europa League matchup. The Norwegian side have been solid at home lately, while Monaco arrive with something to prove after an inconsistent run of form. Expect fireworks under the floodlights at Aspmyra Stadion.
Form Guide
Bodø/Glimt are flying domestically and have carried that confidence into Europe. Their attacking style — fast, fearless, and full of energy — has been a nightmare for visiting teams. They’ve scored in almost every game this season, though their defense still looks a bit shaky at times.
Monaco, on the other hand, have shown flashes of brilliance but also moments of frustration. They’ve struggled to find rhythm away from home, but with their quality squad, they’re always capable of turning things around in one good night.

Head-to-Head (H2H)
This will be one of the more intriguing ties between these two sides. They’ve rarely met before, making this clash a bit of an unknown. Bodø/Glimt’s home advantage and arctic conditions could be tricky for Monaco, who are more used to the mild Mediterranean climate.
