On Thursday night, Bodo/Glimt and Roma go head-to-head in the Europa Conference League first quarter-final first leg. The visitors are the favourites to progress over the two legs.
Bodo/Glimt kicked off their domestic campaign in the Eliteserien at the weekend with a 2-2 draw against Rosenborg. The draw means that the Norwegian outfit is now unbeaten in 35 competitive games.

Part of that unbeaten run is 13 matches in the Europa Conference League, having recorded eight wins in the process.
One of the biggest factors in their recent stellar European form has been their eye for goal, as Bodo/Glimt have scored at least two goals in seven of their last eight matches in the competition.
Bodo/Glimt also have a formidable home record in the European Conference League, winning their eight home matches in the competition, while also scoring at least two goals in seven of their last eight games.
Like their opponents, Roma head into this game in good form, as Jose Mourinho’s team is unbeaten in nine games in all competitions.
Last time out, the Giallorossi recorded a 1-0 win at Sampdoria which could keep their top-four chances alive in Serie A.
Roma have won seven of their ten games in the Europa League this season. Ironically, their only defeat in the competition came in a 6-1 drubbing against Thursday’s opponents in the group stages.
Since the hammering, the team from the Italian capital has picked up three wins and two draws in the Europa Conference League.
The visitors recorded a 2-1 aggregate win over Dutch side Vitesse to book their place in the last eight of the competition.
Forebet predicts that Roma will inflict Bodo/Glimt’s first home defeat in the Europa Conference League by recording a victory in a high-scoring encounter.
