Competition: Europe Europa Conference League
Competition: Thu 24.Aug
Match begins: 17:00 (UTC)
Venue: Stadionul Municipal (5000 seats)

The first of two encounters in the Europa Conference League Play-offs, as the hometeam Sepsi will try to edge Bodø / Glimt in their own ballpark.

It should be mentioned that Bodø / Glimt play their home matches on artifical turf, so they have to adjust for this one as it's played on grass. Does it matter? Recent statistics for Bodø / Glimt on grass are 11 victories, 7 draws and 8 defeats from 26 games. In these matches they have a goal statistics scored/conceded: 48-38. You can compare this with overall results below.

These teams have little in common geographically as Bodø / Glimt have to travel 3800 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

It's no vacation for neither Sepsi nor Bodø / Glimt as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Sepsi form and stats

Action has already taken place for Sepsi in Europa Conference League as they have defeated Aktobe and CSKA Sofia to reach the Play-offs. Last season, Sepsi's Europa Conference League journey ended in the 3rd qualifying round against Djurgården.

Sepsi must be fairly happy with 5 points from their first three Liga 1 games here at Stadionul Municipal. This match is a Europa Conference League match, and the hometeam has the total statistics 3 wins, 1 draw and 0 losses in this competition.

The home club members saw a 1-1 draw versus Hermannstadt last time out and are looking for a win here.

Before that one, a nice away win at Aktobe. A Europa Conference League match.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Sepsi as they are travelling to their away game against CSM Iasi in the Liga 1. That match is three days after this one.

From these home matches, Sepsi have conceded only 2 goals.

Bodø / Glimt form and stats

The traveling awayteam has defeated Pyunik and Bohemians 1905 in order to reach play-offs of Europa Conference League. Glimt was sent out of Europa Conference League in the knockout round play-offs last season, when Lech Poznan turned out to be too strong.

Bodø / Glimt's travelling support has been rewarded for their time and money so far this season, having witnessed Bodø / Glimt collect 24 points from their 10 away matches in the Eliteserien. 8 victories and 0 draws have created these points (and only 2 defeats). The mentioned statistics is only from the league, looking at the Europa Conference League stats, they have 4 wins, 0 draws and 0 losses both home and away.

It's the second away game in a row for Bodø / Glimt, but there's smiles all around after the 3-1 victory versus Haugesund last time out. Which player has scored three games in a row for the away side? The answer is Pellegrino and that is quite the accomplishment! Pellegrino, attacking player, was the top performer on the team in that game, scoring a match rating of 9.4. Pellegrino scored two goals, served one assist, hit three key passes and dribled past the opponent 1 of 2 times.

Ahead of that, the Europa Conference League win away at Pyunik.
