Lech Poznan vs Bodo Glimt 1/16 Conference League. How do you assess the chances of the Polish champion to advance to the 1/8 finals?
The first meeting of these teams was inconclusive, which can be considered a small plus before the rematch for Lech. A 0:0 draw probably puts Kolejożan in the role of a minimal favorite, because the team from Norway, playing at home on artificial turf, is doing poorly in away matches on natural turf. This is indicated by the fact that the last away match in which Bodo won in European competitions took place over a year ago in the round of 16 of the Conference League with Celtic Gllasgow at Celtic Park 1: 3. The advantage of the hosts should be the cheering of the fans at the stadium at ul. Bulgarska, where a set of fans cheering for Lech is to appear. The players of coach van de brom have already started their league struggles, and their rival is still waiting for the resumption of the games after the winter break. It is worth noting, however, that this does not have to be a definite advantage of the Polish team. Already in last year's edition of the Conference League, the Norwegian team showed that despite the break in domestic competitions, it learned how to play in European cups. Bodo was calmly preparing for Thursday's match, and Lech lost last weekend at home to Zagłębie Lubin 1:2. The goal for the hosts was scored by Artur Sobiech after a service from Alfonso Sousa in the 45th minute of the match. Coach Kolejoży made 7 changes in relation to the cup game, which means that he gave the aces a rest before the very important match of the 1/16 finals of the Conference League, although Salomon, Skóraś Pereira Szymczak and Ishak entered the field after the break, who should appear at the Thursday meeting . To sum up, it should be a very interesting and balanced duel.
The match will take place next Thursday at 21:00 in Poznań. Broadcast on TVP Sport and Viaplay
