Bodo/Glimt host Prishtina in the second leg of their UEFA Conference League third round qualifier at Aspmyra Stadion as they look to overturn a first leg deficit. Bodo/Glimt will consider that result a blip and will be confident of turning things around on their own turf.
Bodo/Glimt failed to build on their early lead in the first leg as they suffered a 2-1 defeat to Prishtina. They looked to be on course for a comfortable victory after Erik Botheim struck the opener in the first half but were breached twice by Prishtina.
Despite the defeat, Bodo/Glimt will be confident heading into the second leg having won four of their last five matches. It was also the first time they have failed to score two or more goals in their last six fixtures.
Kjetil Knutsen’s men also have a solid defensive record, claiming back-to-back 3-0 victories prior to that defeat against Prishtina.
Prishtina showed their character in the first leg as they fought back from a goal down to win 2-1 at home. A slow start saw them concede early in the first half but Ola John struck the equaliser before the break while a late own goal earned them the win.
Despite the win Zekirija Ramadani's men have been failed to put a consistent run together lately with three defeats in their last five matches. They have also struggled on their travels, losing their last two away matches, including a 4-2 defeat at Connah's Quay in their previous fixture on the road in the UEFA Conference League.
