"Starting with the hosts, failing to win any of their opening five Champions League group stage showdowns, Bodo/Glimt were seeking a real miracle in the race to book a knockout stage ticket. However, embarking on what was a sensational European romp on either side of opening the New Year, Kjetil Knutsen's men have received a string of plaudits from across the continent."
"Bodo/Glimt Team News While veteran midfielder Ulrik Saltnes might have missed out away at Atletico Madrid last month, Bodo/Glimt remain hopeful that the Norwegian international will return to Knutsen's squad here. Ahead of Wednesday's blockbuster first-leg showdown, the Yellows have reported a clean bill of health. Remarkably bagging three goals in his final two group stage appearances, the red-hot Kasper Hogh will shoulder plenty of Bodo/Glimt's goalscoring threat. One-time Lens star Patrick Berg will start in the middle of the park."
Inter Milan will travel to Norway to face Bodo/Glimt in a Champions League play-off first leg. Bodo/Glimt recovered from a poor start in the group stage to win seven points from their final three matches, including victories at Atletico Madrid and Manchester City. Bodo/Glimt are not starting their domestic season until next month and enter the tie with a clean bill of health and attacking form led by Kasper Hogh. Veteran Ulrik Saltnes is hopeful of returning to the squad. Inter Milan approach the match after a strong domestic season under Cristian Chivu and remain serious challengers in Europe.
