Bodø/Glimt vs NEC Nijmegen prediction

THE FORECAST

Bodo/Glimt has performed historically strong at home in European competition and shows more attacking power with 3 goals scored compared to NEC (1.0 gf), although they are missing several players including Evjen and Gundersen. The biggest concern for NEC is the match load: only 3 days rest after the Eredivisie match on 22 August, while Bodo/Glimt has 6 days rest, although the NM Cup tomorrow is a signal that the home team may also have rotation in mind. NEC's transfer window was extremely turbulent with dozens of incoming and outgoing players, which suggests unity problems and lack of well-drilled combinations in an away match at a high European level.
