Bodo/Glimt host Lech Poznan in the first leg of the Europa Conference Knockout Play-off round. The Norwegian hosts are making it a clean sweep of European competitions this season. They failed to reach the Champions League group stages and then finished third in their Europa League group. They had a tough draw in the Europa League with both Arsenal and PSV to face. Bodo/Glimt finished second in their domestic league which ended last November so they'll go into this competition next season. Last season saw them reach the last eight of the Europa Conference League and that was mainly due to their home form. They have only played four friendlies in the past three months. The most recent of those was last week with a 2-2 draw away at Silkeborg. None of their last three friendlies have been won. Home form in competitive games has only seen them lose four times  in 41 games since July 2021. Two were inflicted by Molde who won the Nowegian title last season and PSV and Arsenal in the Europa League. Five out of seven home European games this season have been won.

Lech Poznan are third in the Polish Ekstraklasa but ten points behind leaders Rakow. They finished second in their Europa Conference League group, four points behind Villarreal. The Poles earned seven of their nine points at home with only two draws and a 4-3 loss to Villarreal on their travels. They have won their last two league games 1-0 but before that had drawn three competitive games in a row. Away form in the Polish league has seen them yet to lose a fixture with five wins and five draws. A bet on a home win can be a winner here.
