Team News

Knutsen should be working with a fully healthy Bodo/Glimt squad for the match on Thursday, except for Sondre Fet and Gaute Hoberg Vetti, who is out with knee and hip injuries, respectively.

On the right side of the attack, Joel Mvuka and Ola Solbakken will continue to duel for supremacy, with the former’s fresher legs possibly favoured from the opening whistle at the Aspmyra Stadion.

For Arsenal, Emile Smith Rowe (groin) and Mohamed Elneny (hamstring) are still out injured. Arteta will be hesitant to risk Oleksandr Zinchenko if he has not fully healed from a muscular issue.

The North London team will make several changes, including the recall of last week’s goal scorers Holding, Vieira, and Nketiah, Albert Sambi Lokonga, Marquinhos, and Kierney.

Prediction

Bodo/Glimt 1-2 Arsenal

Bodo/Glimt are second in the Eliteserien. It is not unexpected that manager Kjetil Knutsen has been connected to English teams. The Norwegian team has established a reputation as an exciting group that recently performed outstandingly in Europe. 

Arsenal, on the other hand, has been a fantastic team this season, possibly the best in the Premier League. They are in first place, one point ahead of Manchester City in second. Arsenal looks fantastic and will be the overwhelming favourite to win.
