Lech Poznan vs. Bodo Glimt: Preview and betting tips

On Thursday the match for the Czech coefficient is scheduled. If Bodo Glimt makes it to the Conference Eight rematch, Norway will overtake us in the table. What to expect from the game and what to bet on?

Lech can have a good feeling about the opening battle, they fell twice to AS Rome in Glimt last year, not for nothing did the Norwegians reach the quarter-finals. In the league, anyway, Poznan lost at home at the weekend and their lead from third place to fourth has shrunk to one point.

Glimt is currently in the post-season, as Norway plays a spring-autumn system. Last year’s free schedule suited him, he could concentrate on the cups and he would like to use the experience against the Polish team.

Poznan’s key figures

Swedish international striker Mikael Ishak, author of 17 goals and seven assists, shines in the home team’s jersey. Left winger Michal Skoras has made the Polish national team, with a 10+4 record for Lech.

Key figures of Glimtu

The visitors have been driven by Amahl Pellegrino since the start of the cup season, with the Norwegian forward scoring five times and assisting twice. Twenty-two-year-old midfield talent Hugo Vetlesen has scored three goals and assisted on one.

Despite decent performances, Lech can’t rely much on offense, with 25 shots, the worst of the Ekstraklasa top 6. It has scored more than once extra time in only one of the last seven games, and three times it came up completely empty.

Moreover, Glimt had the best offensive performance in the league last season with an incredible average of 2.86 goals per round. He was on fire in preparation as well, netting a combined five goals in two games in February against Silkeborg and Viborg.

Considering the long-term offensive well-being of the visitors, their fresh experience with tough cup games and the poor productivity of the home team, I think Bodo will snatch promotion on the opponent’s soil.
