Bodo/Glimt

In the last three years, Bodo/Glimt has become a real hit. First in Norway, and then in Europe. In 2020, they won the first title in the club’s history, and they repeated that result last year. In addition, they achieved one of the best results for Norway in Europe in the 21st century. They reached the Conference League quarterfinals where they were eliminated by Roma.

They played against that same Roma in the group stage as well, but then they won 6:1 at home. It was one of the biggest wins for Bodo/Glimt ever, while for the legendary Jose Mourinho it was one of the hardest defeats in his career. Roma took revenge on Bodo/Glimt in the quarterfinals, but that 6:1 score remains recorded for all time.

However, the fairy tale of this club could stop at the end of this season. They are currently in modest sixth place in the Norwegian League and they have 11 points less than leader Lillestrom. There is enough time for Bodo/Glimt to catch them, but they will have to start playing in last season’s form already from this round against Sarpsborg.

Sarpsborg

Since first entering the Norwegian League 10 years ago, Sarpsborg has positioned itself as a stable participant in this competition. They usually end the season in the middle of the table and they never feared relegation. In 2017, they even finished in third place, which brought them the first appearance in Europe in the club’s history. In the Europa League qualifiers, they eliminated St. Gallen, Rijeka, and Maccabi Tel Aviv, but they finished last in the group with Besiktas, Genk, and Malmo.

This season, Sarpsborg is playing very well. After 12 rounds, they have the same number of points as Bodo/Glimt and they will surely fight for a place in Europe until the very end. Danish attacking midfielder Mikkel Maigaard is having the best season of his career and he is the real engine of this team.

In the last four rounds, Sarpsborg scored as many as 16 goals and they won three games in that period. They are in great form, they have a lot of confidence and they hope they can threaten the reigning Norwegian champions this weekend.
