Bodo/Glimt and Lugano will battle for three points in a UEFA Europa Conference League matchday five fixture on Thursday (November 30th).

Bard Finne was the star of the show as he scored a brace and provided a pair of assists to Niklas Castro to inspire the victory.

Lugano, meanwhile, comfortably dispatched Yverdon with a 5-0 away victory in the Swiss Super League. All five goals came after the break, with Uran Bislimi providing two assists while Zan Celar scored a brace in the rout.
