Bodø/Glimt welcome Lille to Aspmyra Stadion on matchday four of the Champions League league phase, with both sides needing points to keep their European campaigns on course.
The Norwegian champions will look to continue their strong record at home in European competition, while Lille are aiming to collect their first points of the season in the Champions League.
Bodø/Glimt have several selection concerns ahead of the match. Jens Hauge was forced off early during the recent victory over Viking and remains a major doubt. Goalkeeper Julian Faye Lund is also uncertain to feature.
Hakon Evjen, Magnus Riisnæs and August Mikkelsen are unavailable to the Norwegian side and will not be included in the squad.
Nikita Haikin is expected to start in goal, with Fredrik Sjøvold, Odin Bjørtuft, Jostein Gundersen and Fredrik Bjørkan forming the defence.
Sondre Auklend, Patrick Berg, Sondre Brunstad Fet and Ole Didrik Blomberg are the probable midfield choices, while Andreas Helmersen and Ole Didrik Blomberg are listed in attack.
Lille team news
Lille, managed by Davide Ancelotti, have not suffered any additional injury setbacks but remain without a number of established players.
Ayase Ueda, Hamza Igamane and Tiago Santos are continuing their recovery programmes and remain in the treatment room. Ethan Mbappe is also unavailable as he serves the remainder of the suspension imposed following his red card on the opening matchday.
Berke Ozer is expected to start in goal. The likely back four is Maxima Goffi, Nathan Ngoy, Alexsandro and Romain Perraud.
Benjamin Andre, Nabil Bentaleb and Ngal’ayel Mukau are the predicted midfield trio, with Hakon Arnar Haraldsson, Soriba Diaoune and Dilane Bakwa set to lead the Lille attack.
The match will be Bodø/Glimt’s fourth fixture in the league phase of this season’s Champions League, with the Norwegian club seeking to use home advantage against a Lille side still waiting to open its points account in the competition.
The published betting prices list Bodø/Glimt as 1.80 to win, with a draw priced at 4.00 and a Lille victory also valued at 4.00.
