Bodo/Glimt and Club Brugge square off at the Aspmyra Stadion in a UEFA Europa Conference League fixture on Thursday (October 5).
The hosts are coming off a routine 2-0 home win over Stromsgodset in the Eliteserien. Tobias Gulliksen and Ulrik Saltnes scored in either half to propel their side to the top of the table.
Brugge, meanwhile, had to settle for a share of the spoils in a disappointing 1-1 draw against Sint-Truiden at home. They went ahead through Andreas Skov Olsen at the start of the second half but were pegged back by Aboubakary Koita's 63rd-minute strike.
