Bodo/Glimt Preview – Can Bodo/Glimt lift themselves?
Despite sitting in their lofty position of 2nd place in the Norwegian top flight, Wednesday’s hosts, Bodo/Glimt, have run into some choppy waters of late as the hosts have managed to pick up just one win from their last five matches overall.
That win came in the shape of a comprehensive 4-1 home win against second from bottom Stabaek, but recent defeats against Molde and Sandefjord along with being held to draws by Valerenga and Viking suggest that Bodo/Glimt may struggle in this Champions League 1st round qualifying 1st leg.
This will be Bodo/Glimt’s first ever appearance at Champions League level as they’re usually more familiar with the Europa League, winning four of their seven ties to date in that competition but they’ve never played Legia Warsaw in any competitive match.
Legia Warsaw Preview – Can Legia Warsaw make positive start?
Wednesday’s visitors, Legia Warsaw, claimed the Polish Ekstraklasa title at the end of the last domestic season by a five-point margin ahead of runners-up, Rakow Czestochowa, to take their place in these Champions League qualifiers.
After recording a 1-0 home win over Podbeskidzie on the final day of last term, Legia Warsaw have played a string of club friendlies, winning three of these five warm-up games which include recent back-to-back wins against Polish top flight clubs, Lechia Gdansk and Jagiellonia Bialystok respectively.
The bigger picture shows that Legia Warsaw have lost just one of their last 16 matches in all competitions and whilst they’ve not had the opportunity of competitive match fitness, the visitors should at least hold their own at Bodo/Glimt in this 1st leg.
