Bodo/Glimt vs NEC NijmegenPrediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

Bodo/Glimt host the Champions League play-off second leg with a 3-1 lead built in Holland against NEC Nijmegen. The Norwegians arrive on a goal-heavy run: 3-2 and 3-3 against Union Saint-Gilloise, 2-1 over Valerenga and 4-0 against Lillestrom. NEC, despite the 1-3 first-leg defeat, have responded with two straight wins, 2-1 at home over Olympiacos and 4-1 away at Willem II, after a tougher start that included a 0-0 against the same Greek side and a 1-2 loss to Telstar. The prediction may change in the hours before kick-off. Confirmed line-ups, late injuries, suspensions, rotation ahead of other fixtures and the state of the pitch and the weather can all alter the picture described above. In those cases the selection may be reviewed and updated within 12 to 24 hours of the match: this happens rarely, but when it does, the version published on this page is always the current one.
