Valur Preview – Can Valur avoid fourth defeat?
Icelandic hosts, Valur, were recently dumped out of the qualifying rounds of the Champions League by Croatian side, Dinamo Zagreb, in a heavy 5-2 aggregate loss and having also lost on the weekend in the domestic Pepsideild with a 2-1 loss away at Akranes, Valur will be keen to avoid a fourth defeat in this 1st leg tie against Bodo/Glimt.
Nevertheless, Valur still remain top of the Icelandic top flight table by a point ahead of Vikingur Reykjavik, but previous exploits on the European club stage have resulted in a disappointing sequence of results.
Valur have lost seven of their previous eight ties in the Champions League and although opposition is expected to be weaker in this Europa Conference League, the hosts will have a tough assignment against Bodo/Glimt.
Bodo/Glimt Preview – Can Bodo/Glimt redeem themselves?
Norwegian outfit, Bodo/Glimt, were also sent crashing out of the qualifying rounds of the Champions League and also by the same aggregate scoreline of 5-2 to Polish side, Legia Warsaw, so the visitors will be looking to redeem themselves in this Europa Conference League.
Recent results though have seen Bodo/Glimt go off the boil a little as the visitors are without a win in their last five matches overall in all competitions, and they’ve managed to win just one of their last eight matches overall.
Still, it could be a case of ‘horses for courses’ where Bodo/Glimt are concerned and the visitors still stand a decent chance of getting a positive result at Valur on Thursday night.
