Europa League betting and spectator preview: Bodø / Glimt and Zürich meet at Aspmyra Stadion to measure strength and learn who makes it to the next stage.
These teams have little in common geographically as Zürich have to travel 3000 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
It's no vacation for neither Bodø / Glimt nor Zürich 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.
Bodø / Glimt form and stats
Last season, Glimt's Champions League journey ended in the 1st qualifying round against Legia Warszawa.5-5-1 (win-draw-lost) are the Eliteserien numbers at home for Bodø / Glimt so far this season.
In their previous game, the manager Knutsen led his Bodø / Glimt to a defeat away at Tromsø. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Aspmyra Stadion. Vetlesen (midfield) was the top team player in that game with a rating of 7.45/10. Vetlesen signed up for two assists and hit three key passes.
In the match before, 1-1 away to PSV (Europa League).
Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Haugesund are coming to town in three days.
Glimt are an "over 2,5 goals" team alone here at Aspmyra Stadion in their league games, having scored an impressive 32 goals in 11 matches. On the other hand, Bodø / Glimt have conceded 14 goals.
Zürich form and stats
Playing away, Zürich have won 0 games, drawn 1 and suffered 3 defeats in the Super League this season. When we have look at the Europa League statistics, we find 4W-0D-1L. This is both home and away.
Zürich are travelling again after losing away to Servette in their previous match (2-3). Zürich were so close to getting something from the game against Servette, but ended up with egg all over their face after conceding the deciding goal five minutes into overtime. Midfield player Okita was the top player of the team with a match rating of 8.13/10. Okita scored two goals, hit two key passes, dribled past the opponent 1 of 2 times and had 20 successful passes (of 25 total).
The fixture earlier was the Europa League-battle against Arsenal, a home loss (1-2).
Zürich have another match away in just three nights, a Swiss Cup game vs Lausanne Sport. A demanding programme for the guests!
The visitors have scored 3 goals from 4 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. For Zürich, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.
