Second Head to Head Meeting
Last week's clash in the Netherlands was the first head to head meeting between Bodo/Glimt and NEC Nijmegen.
Yellow Horde Had an Amazing UCL Run Last Season
Bodo/Glimt's offensive line once again demonstrated their firepower in the first clash against NEC Nijmegen, punishing opposition through counter-attacks and taking a 3-1 victory.
They had just 31% possession here but created five clear chances, Sondre Fet, Andreas Helmersen and Haitam Aleesami appearing on the scoresheet.
Great efficiency was also seen in the previous UCL qualifying round, eliminating Union St Gilloise 6-5 on aggregate, Helmersen scoring the deciding extra-time goal in Norway.
The Yellow Horde has been unstoppable in the Eliteserien recently, six straight victories pushing them up to 1st place ahead of Viking.
NEC's Chances to Recover are Minimal
Clement Bischoff's late goal on Dusan Tadic's assist left minimal hope for NEC Nijmegen to turn this tie around, losing 3-1 in front of the home crowd last week. Just one minute later Kevin Kers hit the sidebar.
Their UCL historic debut was in the previous round against favored Olympiakos. The first tie in Greece ended without goals, while the score in regular time in Nijmegen was 1-1. Emre Mor then scored the winning goal in extra-time to secure a 2-1 victory.
NEC played two Eredivisie games this season, starting with a surprising 2-1 home loss to Telstar where they missed a lot of chances, but returned to winning ways with a 4-1 road win over Willem II (posted 3.54 xG and fired 21 shots).
