Norwegian side Bodo/Glimt will look to sneak into the top eight in the league stage when they visit OGC Nice at the Allianz Riviera in Thursday's Europa League action.
While delivering strong performances on the domestic front, currently sitting fourth but just a slender one-point margin behind Monaco for the final direct Champions League spot, the club from the Azure Coast has been utterly disappointing during their European campaign. Quite unexpectedly, OGC Nice, after suffering a slim 0-1 loss against Elfsborg last week, stand as one of just three teams yet to taste victory in the league phase, with their meager two-point tally leaving them above only Dynamo Kiyv in the standings.
In stark contrast, Bodo/Glimt have emerged as one of the most pleasant surprises in UEFA's second-tier competition this season, and what’s even more remarkable is that they are still firmly on track to achieve a top-eight spot in the league phase. Last Thursday, the Yellow Horde comfortably saw off Maccabi Tel Aviv 3-0 on their home ground, bringing their tally to 13 points in the competition, just one point shy of the Romanian side FCSB, who hold the final ticket for a direct entry into the round of 16.
OGC Nice vs Bodo/Glimt Betting Tips: X2 (DOUBLE CHANCE)
Things are completely clear here! With just two points earned out of a possible 21, OGC Nice’s unsuccessful European campaign is evident, and since they are already eliminated, it is highly likely that coach Franck Haise will give opportunities to the reserves, which the visiting Norwegian side might capitalize on to achieve a favorable result. With their Eliteserien title defense set to start only at the end of March, the Yellow Horde approach this match much fresher and well-rested, having no commitments other than European games, and they find extra inspiration in their outstanding back-to-back wins over Besiktas and Maccabi Tel Aviv. As a team capable of tearing apart any defense, Bodo/Glimt will look to capitalize on OGC Nice's defensive vulnerabilities in their European campaign, having conceded 15 goals in seven Europa League matches, and pick up vital points that would send them directly to the round of 16 in this competition.
OGC Nice team news
After missing the weekend's Ligue 1 clash with Marseille due to a league suspension, Sofiane Diop could find himself in the starting lineup for Thursday's final Europa League match.
Unfortunately, important players like Morgan Sanson, Jeremie Boga, and the Nigerian striker Terem Moffi, remain in the recovery room, battling their respective injury setbacks.

Bodo/Glimt team news
Meanwhile, Bodo/Glimt will not be able to call upon Gaute Vetti, Syver Skeide, or wing duo Daniel Bassi and Samuel Burakovsky, as the quartet is recovering from long-term injuries.
After overseeing his team’s dominant 3-1 win over Maccabi Tel Aviv in last week's Europa League action, manager Kjetil Knutsen is expected to name almost the same XI.
