Bohemians 1905 vs FK Bodo/Glimt - 03/08/2023
3528
Bohemians Praha 1905 go into Thursday night’s Conference League second qualifying round second leg match against Norway’s Bodo/Glimt trailing 3-0 after the first leg.
Bodo/Glimt will fancy their chances of finishing the job in the Czech Republic and moving on to the third qualifying round.
As it stands, Bodo/Glimt will advance to play either Kalmar or Pyunik in the next round.
The Norwegians have the advantage of being in the middle of their domestic campaign.
Playing spring to summer gives a team like Bodo/Glimt’s players full fitness for qualifying round matches against teams in preseason.
Bodo/Glimt may have won the first leg against Bohemians Praha 1905, but they go into the match following a loss on the domestic front at the weekend. The Lightning lost 2-0 to Tromso.
Manager Kjetil Knutsen should play a strong XI to seal progression to the next phase. Amahl Pellegrino leads Bodo/Glimt in league goals with 14.
He also tops the team in assists with seven. Centre-forward Faris Moumbagna has 11 goals.
Right-winger Nino Zugelj is out of action with a hamstring injury. He is the only injury issue for Bodo/Glimt.
Bohemians Praha 1905 played their second match of the Czech league season over the weekend. They fell 2-1 to Teplice.
It hasn’t been a good start for Jaroslav Vesely’s team. The team has scored just two league goals this season.
The Czechs will likely be without Jan Shejbal due to an injury. Left-back Jan Vondra could miss the game due to a leg injury.
Vesely uses a 3-4-2-1 formation. It is a defensive formation that didn’t prevent goals in the first leg. Bohemians conceded three times in the opening game.
David Puskac should lead the attack. He scored at the weekend against Teplice in the team’s 2-1 loss.
Bodo/Glimt have recently become a strong underdog team in Europe. In 2021-22, the Lightning reached the quarterfinals of the Conference League, losing to Roma.
Last season, they played in the Europa League group stage before moving to the Conference League playoff round.
There, Bodo/Glimt lost to 1-0 to Lech Poznan. Bodo/Glimt should post a win on Thursday and ease to another win over Bohemians. The Lightning should win 2-0.
Bohemians have struggled in the earlier stages of the new campaign. They are coming off back-to-back losses in all competitions.
Bodo/Glimt should win and progress to the third qualifying round to face Kalmar or Pyunik. The Norwegians will continue their strong European record.
