Norwegian champions Bodo/Glimt will look to maintain their brilliant start in the Europa League when they welcome Azeri champions Qarabag FK to the Arctic Circle on Thursday. While Bodo/Glimt are in a devilishly tight title race in Norway, attempting to hold onto their Eliteserien crown, that has not seen their performances suffer on the continent.
Recent Meetings
Both teams have not met in any major tournament.
Team News
Bodø/Glimt manager Kjetil Knutsen was dealt a huge blow ahead of his team’s second leg Conference League quarterfinals showdown against Roma. First choice duo Brede Moe, central defender, and attacker Amahl Pellegrino both suffered injuries during the Norwegian side’s 2-1 victory over Sandefjord. Goalkeeper Nikita Haikin will be hopeful of a quieter evening here, as no stopper has been forced into more saves than him in this competition so far, with his tally 20 being three higher than any other.
Visitors Qarabag are without two of their goalkeepers, as Shahruddin Mahammadaliyev and Amin Ramazanov remain out long term, so Fabijan Buntic and Mateusz Kochalski will battle it out to start between the sticks. After some ill-discipline in the defeat to Ajax on matchday three, Qarabag will be without two of their starting defensive players here, with Elvin Cafarquliyev, who picked up his third dismissal in five Europa League games, and Julio Romao both now serving a one-match suspension. Juninho netted six times in vain for the club in Champions League qualifying earlier this season, and has scored their only goal across the league phase so far, so will be the man they will turn to for inspiration in this one.
Probable Line-Ups
Bodo XI: Haikin; Sjovold, Gundersen, Bjortuft, Bjorkan; Saltnes, Berg, Fet; Maatta, Zinckernagel, Hauge
Qarabag XI: ochalski; Matheus Silva, B Huseynov, Mustafazada, Medina; Bayramov, Jankovic; Leandro Andrade, Benzia, Zoubir; Juninho
Verdict.
With 25 wins in their last 31 home games, Bodo/Glimt are near-invincible in the Arctic Circle in Europe, while Qarabag are often poor travelers and have made a very disappointing start to their continental campaign.
Bet on Bodo/Glimt win
Reason:Bodo/Glimt is 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.
