Match Preview for Bodø/Glimt vs Besiktas
Bodø/Glimt: The Norwegian side is fighting for a spot in the knockout stages, currently sitting 17th in the Europa League standings with seven points. They’ve lost two of their last three group matches but remain dangerous at home, where they’ve won a significant majority of their games when leading at halftime. Patrick Berg, their midfield general, will need to stay disciplined, as he’s already collected two yellow cards in this campaign.
Besiktas: The Turkish giants are 22nd in the standings, with six points from five matches. A win is essential for Besiktas to keep their slim hopes of advancing alive, but their recent form has been shaky, losing four of their last six games in all competitions. Arthur Masuaku, with three yellow cards, must avoid suspension in this high-stakes game.
Historically, Bodø/Glimt have had the upper hand in this fixture, winning two of the last four meetings, including a 2-1 victory earlier in the group stage. Both teams will need to address defensive vulnerabilities, as they’ve conceded consistently throughout the tournament.
Predicted Starting Lineups for Bodø/Glimt vs Besiktas
Bodø/Glimt: Haikin, Sjovold, Gundersen, Bjortuft, Bjorkan, Evjen, Berg, Saltnes, Zinckernagel, Hogh, Hauge
Besiktas: Gunok, Svensson, Sanuc, Topcu, Masuaku, Ucan, Colley, Ghezzal, Rashica, Tosun, Abu
