Jagiellonia Bialystok v Bodo/Glimt

Jagiellonia vs Bodo/Glimt Preview

Polish hosts, Jagiellonia Bialystok, will be going in search of a sixth win on the trot in all competitions when they entertain Norwegian side, Bodo/Glimt, at their Stadion Miejski in this 1st leg of their 3rd qualifying round tie and the home side head into this encounter on the back of a 2-0 home win against Stal Mielec in the domestic Polish top flight, while Bodo/Glimt also registered a win in their domestic Eliteserien with a 4-2 home win against Haugesund on the weekend.

Jagiellonia have previously captured domestic wins in the new Polish Ekstraklasa season with victories gained over Puszcza Niepolomice and Radiomak Radom respectively, whilst also securing a comprehensive 7-1 rout on aggregate over Lithuanian outfit Panevezys in the previous round of the Champions League, so confidence will be high amongst Adrian Siemieniec's side.

The bigger picture shows Jagiellonia have been dealt just two defeats within their previous 14 games in all competitions along with picking up nine wins in the process, along with losing just twice on home soil at their Stadion Miejski in the last 16 home games.

In addition, Jagiellonia have also scored in no fewer than 19 of their last 20 home games in all competitions as well.

Bodo/Glimt captured a fourth win in five games on the weekend when they recorded a 4-2 home win against Haugesund which followed previous wins against Odd BK in the domestic Eliteserien along with home and away wins against Latvian club, Rigas, in the previous round of the Champions League, winning by a convincing 7-1 aggregate.

The visitors had also picked up a useful point on the road in the Norwegian top flight thanks to a 1-1 draw away at KFUM Oslo, while the bigger picture shows Bodo/Glimt have suffered just the single defeat in their previous 11 games overall.

Seven wins within these last 11 games suggests Bodo/Glimt look more than capable of hitting the back of the net at the Stadion Miejski on Wednesday night but also capable of conceding as well, and indeed, no fewer than nine of these previous 11 games have resulted in both teams scoring.

Similar to Jagiellonia's results on home soil, Bodo/Glimt have also been handed just two defeats in their last 15 outings on the road whilst also collecting 11 wins in the process and goals also look likely from the visitors as Kjetil Knutsen's side have scored in 14 of these last 15 outings on the road as well.

Jagiellonia v Bodo/Glimt Verdict

Both Jagiellonia and Bodo/Glimt have produced some promising results in the early stages of their respective domestic seasons so far and both clubs look likely to score in what looks like being an interesting 1st leg clash at the Stadion Miejski as both sides will be keen to take an advantage into next week's return leg.
