On Tuesday, August 7th, in the first leg of the third qualifying round of the Champions League, Polish side Jagiellonia will host Norwegian club Bodø/Glimt. The Dailysports team of analysts has prepared predictions and bets for this match.
Jagiellonia
Jagiellonia won the Ekstraklasa for the first time in their history, thus making their debut in the Champions League. So far, the debut is going excellently. In the second qualifying round, Jagiellonia left no chance for the Lithuanian champions Panevėžys. The Polish representatives won 4-0 away and secured their success with a 3-1 home victory.
In the new Ekstraklasa season, Jagiellonia has started perfectly. After three rounds, they lead the standings with 9 points. They defeated Puszcza Niepołomice (2-0) in the opening match, followed by victories over Radomiak (3-2) and Stal Mielec (2-0).
Bodø/Glimt
One of the northernmost clubs in Europe, Bodø/Glimt, won the Norwegian championship for the third time in their history. Bodø/Glimt is already an experienced European competitor and can aim for their first-ever appearance in the Champions League group stage. In the second round, the yellow-blacks easily dealt with the Latvian club RFS. Bodø/Glimt won 4-0 at home and 3-1 away.
Bodø/Glimt is also doing well in the Norwegian championship, where they confidently lead after 18 rounds with a 9-point gap from second place. In their last 9 Eliteserien matches, Bodø/Glimt has suffered only one defeat.
