Bodo/Glimt are set to play Arsenal at the Aspmyra Stadion on Thursday in the group stage of the UEFA Europa League.
Bodo/Glimt come into this game on the back of a 4-1 win over Sandefjord in the Eliteserien. A second-half brace from midfielder Hugo Vetlesen and goals from left-back Brice Wembangomo and attacker Amahl Pellegrino sealed the deal for Kjetil Knutsen's Bodo/Glimt. Dutch centre-back Quint Jansen scored the goal for Sandefjord.
Arsenal, on the other hand, beat Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool 3-2 in the English Premier League. A brace from forward Bukayo Saka and a goal from Brazilian forward Gabriel Martinelli secured the win for Mikel Arteta's Arsenal. Uruguayan striker Darwin Nunez and Brazilian attacker Roberto Firmino scored the goals for Liverpool.

Bodo/Glimt vs Arsenal Prediction
Bodo/Glimt are second in the Eliteserien this season. The Norwegian club have made their name as an exciting outfit who have produced some splendid performances in Europe in recent times, and it is not surprising to see manager Kjetil Knutsen linked with clubs in England. The club continues to play good football under Knutsen's leadership.
Arsenal, on the other hand, have been an excellent outfit this season and have arguably been the best team in the Premier League this campaign. They are top of the league table, one point ahead of second-placed Manchester City.
Arsenal's attack, including Gabriel Jesus, Gabriel Martinelli and Bukayo Saka, have impressed. Jesus has immediately slotted into Arsenal's attack following his summer arrival from Manchester City, and the 25-year old has been one of the best forwards in the league so far.
In defense, Benjamin White and William Saliba in particular have excelled. Saliba, in particular, has cemented his position in Arsenal's defense after some tumultuous years. The France international has been compared to Virgil van Dijk, and it can be argued that the 21-year old has been better than the veteran defender this season.
Arsenal look excellent, and will be the favorites to win this game.
