First leg of the Champions League qualifying will see Bodo/Glimt take on KI Klaksvik at Aspmyra Stadion. Match day schedules for July 6 at 19:00 EAT.
The hosts won the Norwegian top flight for the second time last year after finishing at the top of the division with 63 points from their 30 matches; the success saw the club qualify for this first qualifying round of the cup. Bodo/Glimt are already 12 matches into their new league season, currently sitting sixth in the table, boasting 19 points, and they are 11 points behind the leaders Lillestrom.
Bodo Glimt will want to bounce back after 3-2 Eliteserien loss to Grenland in their previous match. In that game, Bodo Glimt managed 64% possession, 23 shots with five of them on target and goals scored by Amahl Pellegrino (29′) and Isak Amundsen (97′). Grenland got nine shots with five of them on target and goals by Milan Jevtović (19′), Conrad Wallem (59′) and Espen Ruud (99′).
Meanwhile, the visitors are currently at the top of their domestic league table with 43 points from 15 matches and will therefore enter this match full of confidence. KI Klaksvik did reach the second qualifying round of the 2020-2021 Champions League before losing to Young Boys. They have lost five and won just one of their previous six Champions League fixtures and will be the underdogs heading into this two-legged tie.
Following defeat last time out to FK RFS in Conference League Qualifiers competition, KÍ Klaksvík and their travelling fans will be hoping for better results here.
