After bouncing back domestically, Bodo/Glimt will look to step up as they go head-to-head with Rigas in the Champions League. The two sides meet on Tuesday in the 2nd qualifying round of the competition. Read on for the stats and a prediction ahead of the match.
A good start has Bodo/Glimt atop the Eliteserien in Norway. They will be looking to carry their recent form to Europe, after winning 11 of 16 matches in Eliteserien action. The Superlaget warmed up for this game with a 3-1 league win over struggling Odd.
That was an extension of their good scoring run, which reads eight in eight games now. After two years out of the Champions League, Bodo/Glimt will want to take full advantage of this chance. In 10 Champions League matches, they have four wins.
Latvian champions Rigas started off in the 1st qualification round. They set up this clash after seeing off Northern Irish side Larne 7-0 on aggregate. The level of difficulty goes up here but Rigas have a good run to bank on.
The visitors are on seven straight wins and in three of the last four matches, they kept clean sheets. Their undefeated run counts to 14 matches, 13 of them being wins, while they’ve lost just once in their last 23 games.
This good run will, however, be put to a stern test by Bodo/Glimt, who have more experience in Europe. Here, Rigas will be playing just their fifth match in the Champions League. Like Bodo/Glimt, they are also making a return from two years ago.
