Bodø Glimt is on the verge of entering the group stage again after a 3:1 victory in the first match. Moreover, they generally perform very well at their stadium and should not slip up. Bodø is on a streak of seven consecutive matches with over 2.5 goals, and their matches against Union Saint-Gilloise in the previous round were quite high-scoring as well – 3:2 at home and 3:3 away.
NEC Nijmegen is making its debut in the tournament and even eliminated Olympiacos in its first European participation in 17 years. However, Bodø seems to be too high a bar. Excluding the goalless draw in Greece, NEC is on a streak of four consecutive matches with over 2.5 goals and both teams scoring thereafter in all competitions. Still, even participation in the group stage of the Europa League would be a good achievement for NEC, which has nothing to fear from its visit to Norway.
Prediction: both teams to score and over 2.5 goalsBoth teams enjoy high-scoring matches, and I expect to witness goals in the return leg as well.
