Bodo/Glimt start their Champions League journey on Tuesday with a second qualifying round match against Rigas Futbola Skola at Aspmyra Stadion. After a smooth first round, RFS now head to Bodo, where the home team has pulled off several big surprises in recent years.
Recent Meetings
Both teams have not met in any major tournament.
Team News
Bodo/Glimt’s Jostein Gundersen may miss Tuesday’s first leg after suffering his second head injury in two weeks. He was controversially allowed to continue playing against Sandefjord despite the club doctor’s advice, and then sustained a forehead gash against Odd. The team will also be without Kasper Hogh, Sondre Sorli, and Runar Espejord, but Brede Moe is back and will play in a four-man defense. August Mikkelsen, who has struggled since joining from Hammarby, scored Bodo’s opener on Friday and should start in a front three led by either Hakon Evjen or Oscar Kapskarmo.
RFS will rely on Ismael Diomande, who has scored seven goals in his last eight matches, to lead their attack in Norway. Janis Ikaunieks is another key player for the visitors, while former Barcelona goalkeeper Fabrice Ondoa, who has 51 caps for Cameroon, will start in goal.
Probable Line-Ups
Bodo Glimt XI: Haikin; Wembangomo, Bjortuft, Moe, Bjorkan; Saltnes, Berg, Gronbaek; Sjovold, Evjen, Mikkelsen
RFS XI: Ondoa; Balodis, Prenga, Lipuscek; Ikaunieks, Markhiev, Panic, Mares; Diomande, Deocleciano, Lemajic
Verdict
Bodo are tough to beat at home, but RFS have scored in their last 11 games and will challenge their defense. A narrow win for the Norwegian champions would make next week’s match in Riga very important.
Bet on Bodo Win
Reason: Bodo/Glimt favored to win due to their deeper and more experienced squad, and if they take advantage of their attacking strengths, they should secure the victory.
