07/08/2024 9:45 pm
Jagiellonia Bialystok will be looking to make home advantage count when they host Bodo/Glimt at Stadion Miejski on Wednesday for the first leg of their Champions League third qualifying round tie.
Jagiellonia Bialystok were crowned Ekstraklasa champions for the first time in their history in 2023-24, which saw them secure a spot in the second qualifying round of the Champions League.
They had no problems in navigating their way into the third qualifying round, as they beat Panevezys 4-0 away and 3-1 at home in order to record a 7-1 aggregate victory and breeze into this stage of the competition.
In addition to the two victories in the Champions League, Adrian Siemieniec’s side have won their opening three matches of their new Polish campaign to sit at the top of the table on nine points.
Bodo/Glimt are far more experienced than their opponents when it comes to European action, and the team actually competed in last season’s Europa Conference League, losing in the knockout round playoffs to Ajax.
Kjetil Knutsen’s side are three-time Norwegian champions, including last season, with their title success allowing them to secure a spot in the second qualifying round of the 2024-25 Champions League.
Like their opponents in this tie, Bodo/Glimt were comfortable in the second qualifying round, beating Rigas Futbola Skola 4-0 at home and 3-1 away to also run out 7-1 aggregate winners.
Superlaget have never played in the group stage of the Champions League, but they made it to the playoff round in 2022-23, losing to Dinamo Zagreb, before competing in the group stage of the Europa League.
In total, Bodo/Glimt have played 12 qualification matches in the Champions League, boasting a record of six wins, one draw and five losses, and they are actually 18 games into their domestic campaign, sitting top of the Eliteserien table on 40 points.
