It's game one of two in the Champions League as Bodø / Glimt host Žalgiris. This is a 3rd Qualifying Round fixture played over two legs and nothing will be decided tonight.

6 - 2 - 3 with 20-10. What does this mean? Well, these are the statistics for Žalgiris when playing on artifical turf like they will do today. Wins - draws- losses and goals scored-conceded. Žalgiris play their home games on grass so that's why we provide these numbers.

These teams have little in common geographically as Žalgiris have to travel 2000 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

These are active days for the team playing at home, as they had a game only four days ago in the Eliteserien. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Aalesund.

Bodø / Glimt form and stats

This is not the first game this season in the Champions League for Bodø / Glimt, as the manager Knutsen led his troops to eliminate Linfield and KI, and reach the 3rd Qualifying Round. Glimt participated in Champions League the last season, where they reached the 1st qualifying round and lost against Legia Warszawa.

The home supporters can't complain about results here at Aspmyra Stadion as Bodø / Glimt have scored 22 goals to get 16 points from 8 games. The overall stats in the Eliteserien are 4-4-0 (wins-draws-losses). 2W-0D-2L is the hard facts regardless of venue in the Champions League for Bodø / Glimt.

A good away victory last time out for Bodø / Glimt, who won 2-1 against Aalesund. Boniface has beaten the opponent goalkeeper in three games in a row. Ace! The talented striker Boniface edged out all the other players in that fixture and managed a match rating of 9.04 out of 10. Boniface scored two goals and hit the woodwork once.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Glimt as they have a new game in only three days, a Eliteserien match thankfully also at home. Odd are visiting.

Bodø / Glimt are an "over 2,5 goals" team alone here at Aspmyra Stadion in their league games, having scored an impressive 22 goals in 8 matches.
